James Jewell Shoves and Takes the Pot
After four consecutive pots were won by late position raises, James Jewell decided he wanted to get in on the fun. He raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Walter Browne in the big blind. Our chip leader could afford to see a flop and made the call.
Flop: 
Browne checked and Jewell immediately pushed his last 430,000 into the pot. Browne jokingly asked "Is that real money you're betting sir?" before sliding his cards into the muck.

Harwood Holding His Own
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Richard Harwood raised to 75,000 and Walter Browne thought a bit before re-raising to 190,000 from the small. Undeterred, Harwood announced "Re-raise" and cut out a raise to 300,000 and change before pushing it into the middle. Browne mucked and Harwood scooped the pot.
Jewell Jamming the Pot
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
With the action folded around to him on the button, James Jewell raised to 75,000 and Charlie Cohen made the call from the small blind.
The flop fell 
and Cohen led out for a bet of 110,000. This move prompted Jewell to slide his entire stack of 500,000 or so chips into the middle. Although he was being laid great pot odds, Cohen decided he was in bad shape and mucked his hand.
The win pushes Jewell up to a little more than 700,000 while Cohen took a slight hit.

and both players checked. However, when the completed the board, Hess quickly led out for 190,000. Alston tanked for a while, but then announced, "Call."
"Jack-high." Hess muttered.
Alston flipped over 
for a pair of queens and fives and Hess revealed 
and said, "I wish a spade had come!"

Slow Action For Now; Angle in the House
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Many of the pots as of late have been simply raise-it-and-take-it, which has made for fairly slow action so far. Money seems to be circulating around the table in a clockwise fashion.
On a side note, we noticed that last years champion, Harold Angle, is railing the event - perhaps re-living the excitement he must have felt when he was sitting at the final table.
