Teresa Sexton pushed all in when action folded to her small blind, and Valerie Novak asked what the blinds were going up to. When told the next level was 40,000-80,000 with a 10,000 ante, she decided to call most of her stack off.

Sexton: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Novak: {j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

"Yesss," Novak said, when the flop came {10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Her excitement was short-lived, however, as the turn brought an {a-Diamonds}, giving Sexton a straight and ending the hand.

Novak was left with less than the small blind, and she busted the next hand.
