Action folded to Hasan Habib and he moved in for 1.675 million. Everyone folded and Habib showed the

Habib has only been shoving, and rightfully so, as he's been between 8 and 15 big blinds more most of the day.

We found a three-way flop at the outer table, but one bet was once again enough to end things. David Baker opened from early position for 420,000 and as called by Matt Affleck (on the button) and Duy Le (in the big blind). Action checked to Affleck on a queen-high flopo, 
. His bet of 825,000 ended the hand.
Jonathan Duhamel was the first mover on the outer table this time, making it 500,000 to go. He was called by Pascal LeFrancois from the big blind. Both players checked a king-high flop, 
. LeFrancois took a stab with a bet of 750,000 on the 
turn and was rewarded with a fold from Duhamel.
Sooner or later, the seal on the action at the outer table was going to break. It finally did in a big way. Jonathan Duhamel opened from middle position for 500,000 and was called by Matthew Affleck and big blind David Baker. Baker checked a 
flop to Duhamel, who continued for 1,175,000. Affleck folded to that bet; Baker went for an all-in check-raise of more than 5,000,000. Duhamel quickly called with the red kings, 
, and found himself facing Baker's flush draw, 
. The volume of chatter in the room increased as the rail awaited the remaining two cards. The first was a board-pairing , taking away one of Baker's outs. The second was the 
, which ended Baker's Main Event run.
From the cutoff seat, Matthew Jarvis raised to 450,000. He found one caller from the big blind in Benjamin Statz. The flop came down 
and Statz check-folded to a bet of 625,000 from jarvis.
Brandon Steven limped from the cutoff seat and Michael Mizrachi checked from the big blind. The flop came down 
and Mizrachi checked. Steven fired 200,000. Mizrachi check-raised to 500,000. Steven moved all in for 4.28 million and Mizrachi tanked. Several minutes later, Mizrachi folded, showing just an ace.
The pace of play is deliberate and methodical at the outer table now, with every pot taking on more and more significance the closer we get to the final table. Pascal LeFrancois opened a recent pot to 475,000 from under the gun and was called by big blind Duy Le. Le checked and called a bet of 650,000 on a 
flop. The turn was a seeming blank, the 
, but the action went check, check. Le acted first and ledo ut for 850,000 on the 
river. LeFrancois called, but had to muck his hand once Le showed for a river two pair, queens and tens.
Le is up to 10,800,000 in chips now. LeFrancois slipped to about 19,300,000.
Action folded to Michael Mizrachi in the cutoff seat and he moved all in for 3.3 million. Everyone folded and the Mizrachi fan section let out a roar as he picked up 540,000 chips.
Joseph Cheong made a second-nut flush but was only able to get one street of value out of Pascal LeFrancois. LeFrancois opened the small blind to 400,000 pre-flop, with Cheong calling from the big blind. Both players checked the 
flop and the 
turn. At the river, LeFrancois checked a third time. Cheong finally pulled the trigger with a bet of 1.1 million that LeFrancois called. We never saw LeFrancois' cards. He mucked upon being shown Cheong's , a king-high flush.
LeFrancois is down to about 17.9 million. Cheong is re-building and has roughly 14.3 million.
