Hand #46: Eric Cloutier raised to 150,000, and James Calvo called from one seat over. Eddy Sabat moved all in from the button, and Griffin Abel moved all in out of the big blind. Cloutier also announced, "All in," and that forced out Calvo.

Eddy Sabat: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Griffin Abel: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Eric Cloutier: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Sabat walked over to his rail and said, "I need a nine," and sure enough, that's what showed up on the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. The {4-Clubs} turn changed nothing much, and the {K-Spades} river saw Cloutier go from best hand preflop to worst hand at the end of the showdown. Sabat tripled up for 845,000, shouting, "Let's f***ing go," and Abel was left with 45,000 and the small blind next.

Hand #47: Abel was all in blind from the small blind for 40,000, and while Gaurav Raina raised to 135,000. Asi Moshe moved all in from the button, and Raina folded.

Griffin Abel: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Asi Moshe: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board came {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and Abel was eliminated in sixth place for $76,506.

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #37: Eric Cloutier raised to 150,000 on the button, and [Removed:153] announced all in for 655,000 from one seat over on the button. Cloutier called, and the cards were turned over.

[Removed:153]: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Eric Cloutier: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} immediately improved Cloutier to aces and jacks, and the {4-Diamonds} on the turn saw Stenholm tap the table in defeat. The meaningless {8-Spades} on the river ended Stenholm's run in seventh place, and he received $57,068.

The remaining six players verified with the tournament staff that play will continue until the end of Level 30.
