Jason Mottershead is an enormously experienced tournament player who seems to make deep runs regularly in events here, no matter if the buy-in is $110 or $1,100 or more. Jason spent most of the latter part of today as the chip leader – and at times his lead became relatively extended – he wasn’t quite lapping the field, but it was going very smoothly for him.
Unforunately for him, in the span of just a few minutes Jason has gone from chip leader to the player out on the money bubble. In his ultimate hand, Michel Lemieux raised to 25K from utg/button, Laurent Dubé in seat 2 folded and Jason raised all-in from the bb. Michel snap-tossed a 5K chip to the table by way of calling.

Everyone else is now in the money and play will continue on 2 tables until 5 players remain.
