Hank Czarnecki raised to 65,000 to open the pot, and he found calls from both Bryan Schultz (button) and Daniel Lowery (big blind) to go off to a three-way flop.
It came 
, and it checked around to the 
. When it checked to him a second time, Schultz took his cue to bet 30,000, but Lowery promptly check-raised to 80,000 total. Schultz clicked it back to 140,000, but Lowery came right over the top with another raise to 375,000 total. The fold came quickly from Schultz, and he lamented the fact that he didn't reraise before the flop.
On the next hand, Schultz raised to 65,000, but Ron Segni three-bet to 130,000 next door. Schultz was forced to fold once again, and he's slipped back to the million-chip mark -- there or thereabouts.

We didn't catch up with the action until the turn, but it looks like Bryan Schultz was the preflop button raiser, and he was working in a three-way pot against both blinds -- Ron Segni and Daniel Lowery, respectively.
By the time we picked up live, the flop was already showing 
, and Schultz moved all in for 361,000. It was a bit more than a pot-sized shove, but it didn't scare Segni away. He made the call, Lowery folded, and the cards were on their backs with Schultz at risk.
Showdown
Segni: 
Schultz: 
Segni was in front with top pair and the open-ender, and Schultz needed to catch up in a hurry to stick around. He needed to find a ten or a queen. The turn was a swing and a miss, though, and he asked the dealer for one of those queens on the river.
River: 
Welp, that'll do rather nicely. Schultz spiked his straight to earn the double up, and Segni could only lower his head to the rail in disapproval. The two men have essentially traded places, and now Schultz is the one closing in on a million chips.

David Clark hasn't been able to drag many pots since reaching this final table, and his chip stack is suffering as a result.
In the last hand, Hank Czarnecki opened to 52,000, and Clark three-bet him to 128,000 from the button. When it came back to Czarnecki, he considered for about a minute before four-betting all in with his covering stack. Clark gave it a cursory look, but he decided a fold was in order.
The former chip leader continues to slide, dropping back to about 435,000 after that hit.

Daniel Lowery has built himself a sprawling fortress of chips, but that's not going to stop us from counting it. He's got 3.25 million now, right at half the chips in play.

Under the gun, Hank Czarnecki raised to 54,000, and he was called by both Joe Fernandez and Daniel Lowery, the latter coming along out of position from the big blind.
The three of them took a flop, and Czarnecki continued out with another 68,000. Both opponents called, and the 
paired the board on the turn. Now the first two players checked to Fernandez, and he took his cue to bet 125,000 at the pot. Lowery called again, Czarnecki ducked out, and it was heads up to the river.
It was the 
, and now Lowery decided to lead at the pot. After eyeballing his opponent's ~500,000 remaining chips, he announced that he was all in, and Fernandez quickly called for his tournament life.
The at-risk player showed up for trip aces, but his hand was second-best. Lowery is running hot right now, and his 
had filled up to earn him the pot.
So, it's Joe Fernandez who's out in 7th place, taking home $16,448 for his work.
On the flip side of things, Lowery is now in command of this final table. We're still waiting for him to stack up so we can count, but it looks like he's got about half the chips in play!
