Hands #9-14: Cloutier Doubles Through Margereson
Before the action got back underway, the finalists were informed that they'll play the full ten levels or down to six players, whichever comes first.
Hand #9: Asi Moshe received a walk in the big blind, and his rail from Israel applauded. "He played that so well. He threw the ante with a curve."
Hand #10: Scott Margereson moved all in and claimed the blinds and antes.
Hand #11: [Removed:153] raised to 110,000, and Griffin Abel called in the small blind. The flop fell 
, and Abel checked. Stenholm bet 175,000, and that won the pot.
Hand #13: Margereson shoved for the second time since coming back from dinner. This time, Eric Cloutier called from the small blind, and the cards were turned over.
Eric Cloutier: 
Scott Margereson: 
Cloutier was the player at risk, and the British rail demanded a king once the flop fell 
. However, both the 
turn and the 
river were blanks, and Cloutier doubled for 610,000 in total. Margereson was reduced to just four big blinds as a result.
Hand #14: James Calvo raised to 150,000 under the gun, Asi Moshe called in late position, Griffin Abel called in the cutoff, and [Removed:153] called in the big blind.
On the 
flop, it checked to Moshe, and he bet 225,000. Abel went all in for 730,000, Stenhold folded, Calvo folded, and after a pause, Moshe folded too.
