That's collusion and illegal.

Generally, I'd agree with this. But look at it from this standpoint. The leaving player has 66% of the chips in play. The average chip stack among the other three is 33k. Surely at least one of the remaining players would be eliminated before he blinds out. With the difference in payouts as it was, I can't imagine that the players still in would want to take a chance at elimination when they're guaranteed a top three finish by waiting it out. Dividing up his chips would be 66k apiece for the remaining players. I imagine the blinds are pretty high at this point.
