Andrew Chen potted from the button to 42,000 only to have Adam Junglen three-bet the small blind to 90,000. Chen pushed his 122,000 total into the pot and Junglen made the call.

Chen: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Junglen: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} to see Junglen send Chen to the rail in 13th place while moving his stack up to 730,000 in chips.

Jeremy Harkin Eliminated in 12th Place ($24,441)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Jeremy Harkin - 12th Place
Jeremy Harkin - 12th Place

Catching the action on the {10-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, we found Jeremy Harkin all in against Ben Lamb.

Harkin: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Lamb: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

With Harkin holding a wrap and superior flush-draw, the {7-Diamonds} on the turn, followed by the {3-Diamonds} on the river would see him brick out and be forced to exit in 12th place as Lamb moves to 970,000 in chips.

Harder Pushes Out Parker

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Christian Harder limped the small blind only to have Brock Parker pot the action to 36,000 from the big. Harder made the call before checking the {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Spades} flop as Parker continued for 45,000.

Harder slid out a check-raise of 140,000, and after a moment of deliberation, Parker kicked his cards to the muck.

A Milli, A Milli, A Milli

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

After knocking out Jeremy Harkin in 12th place, Ben Lamb proceeded to raise the action the next two hands to successfully win the blinds.

With those two pots, Lamb has just pushed over the one-million chip mark.

Action Slowing

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

With players only one elimination from moving to the Thunder-Dome, and another from making a WSOP final table, it is understandable that play has tightened.

With the difference between busting now and collecting the gold bracelet nearly $400,000, we do expect that this conservative play may continue for a while.
