Well, Lance Craig can't be faulted for getting his money in with pocket kings before the flop. It would prove to be his undoing. The pot began with him opening to 65,000, and Todd Wood three-bet to 135,000. With 
in the hole, Craig took pause before shoving all in for about 405,000. Wood snap-called, and Craig couldn't believe the sight of the 
across the felt. "The chip leader gets aces," Steve Frezer announced over the mic. "That's not fair."
It wasn't, and the 
flop was no help to Craig. He found paint on the turn, and the 
opened up another four outs for him to stay alive. He needed a jack or a king to double, but the river was another painted tease. The 
filled out the board, and Craig could not catch up.
That's the end of the road for the former software engineer from Grapevine, Texas. He'll pocket $9,263 for his efforts over the past three days, his biggest cash on record.
For Wood, it's a case of the rich getting richer. The knockout pushes him up to 2.1 million, and he's opened up quite the lead on the pack.
