Jacob Falters
Showdown
Jacob:
Foley:
The board ran dry for Jacob, coming
. His first real misstep of the day is a huge one, costing him the chip lead. After that monster double-up, Foley is now your leader with 5,135,000. Jacob is now down in the mix with the other three players, sitting with 2,230,000.
Chutes and Ladders for Jacob
Just moments after his first big hit against Foley, Jacob was at it again. In the small blind, Brandon Cantu raised it up to 375,000. Next door, Alex Jacob announced that he was all in. Cantu made the call, putting his own tournament life on the line. Jacob hated it.
Showdown
Cantu:
Jacob:
The flop ran down
, giving Jacob a little life with one pair. Still needing help though, the turn was a blank 
. "F*ck!" yelled Cantu. "Ten!"It wasn't a ten, but the
on the river was just as good. Alex Jacob doubles up another player, and this time it's cost him nearly his whole stack. When the dust settled, Cantu has climbed to 4,190,000, leaving the once-mighty Jacob crippled down to just 320,000.
Alex Jacob Eliminated in 4th Place ($190,857)
Showdown
Jacob:
Foley:
The board would once again provide no help for Jacob and his legendary afro. It ran down
, and that will be the last board Alex Jacob sees tonight. He put on a marvelous show today, and once he grabbed the chip lead, the table was cowering in fear. One big misstep a few hands ago against Ray Foley would be his undoing though, and Jacob couldn't recover once the bleeding started. For his work over the past three days, he'll take home nearly $200,000 but fall three spots short of his first bracelet.
Wei Mu Eliminated in 3rd Place ($269,609)
The flop showed up
. Mu checked, and Cantu continued out with a bet of 350,000. Mu quickly announced that he was all in, and Cantu instantly called with that not-so-sure ring to his voice.Showdown
Mu:
Cantu:
Cantu had it right, he was ahead and dominating Mu. The turn
was useless, as was the that hit fifth street. With his ten kicker playing, Brandon Cantu has knocked off Wei Mu in 3rd place. The pay bump for Mu takes him up close to $270,000, not too bad for three days' work.

Fireworks!
Showdown
Cantu:
Foley:
The flop came safe for Cantu, running out
. When the hit the turn, Cantu pressed his hands into his cheeks, fearful of his opponent's open ender. The river didn't make Foley's straight, but the 
was still a beautiful card for him. With two pair on the board, the players chop up the pot with their ace kickers. No chips change hands, and it's on to the next shuffle.
