Well the Day 3 chip lead didn't last nearly as long as Brandon Croft would have liked. On his final hand of the tournament, Chris Bonita opened the pot to 66,000 before Croft three-bet shoved his 309,000 chips into the middle. In the big blind, Jesus Cabrera cold called, and Bonita folded out of the way. With the start-of-day leader now at risk, the cards were on their backs so that he could see the bad news:
Croft: 
Cabrera: 
The board was as blank as it gets, coming 
. Ace-queen holds up to give Cabrera the win and the knockout, and he's now fighting for the chip lead once again with he and Waxman both sitting around 1.9 million.
For Croft, it's all she wrote. He never once managed to get his stack above what he started the day with, and it was a fairly steady trickle all the way down to zero. He'll take home close to $14,000 for his work over the past three days, though he appears to be rather disappointed by that result.
