Seniors Walkin' Around the Block
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
After the recent flurry of activity in which two players were eliminated, the play has slowed to its usual snail's pace here at the Seniors Championship final table. Perhaps the remaining players were influenced by the WSOP bracelet which was just passed around the table, but they have tightened up considerably in the last few orbits.
Recently, the player in the big blind received a walk three times in a row, and despite the dead money at stake each and every hand the surviving seniors seem unwilling to risk any thievery.
Koch Doubles Through Harwood
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Harwood: 
Koch:
The board ran out 
and Koch doubled up to 1.6 million. Harwood slipped to 1.9 million.
James Jewell Eliminated in 6th Place ($100,594)
James Jewell open-shoved for his last 825,000 and heard Richard "Dick" Harwood make the instant call.
Showdown:
Jewell: 
Harwood: 
Jewell had found a pocket pair and picked his spot to make a stand. Unfortunately for him, Harwood woke up with a better pair and Jewell would have to catch lucky to stay alive.
The final board rolled out and no fours were found. James Jewell hits the rail in 6th place and will take home $100,594, along with an incredible story, for his work during the last three days. Dick Harwood chipped up to 2,450,000 with the win.

The flop came 
and Hess checked. Cohen immediately went all-in and Hess snap-called.

respectively and Cohen was sent to the rail.
