One player, not the leader, was stubborn and did not want to deal. I knew if i stayed in a little longer there was a good chance my prize would double. Apologies for the hand format.

I make a small raise, maybe should have just min raised for pot control. I get 3bet by chip leader. He has not be overly aggressive at all so i do consider folding but then 77 was too strong 4 handed to fold so i call. Now the flop comes all low cards so am i right in saying i pretty much have to go broke here? Normally i would not even consider folding 77 post flop but then i have to think about the pay jump and i still have a very playable stack. Did i play this badly?

Also if anyone wants to evaluate the whole final table and discuss with me that would be great. I'm pretty sure i was leaking chips needlessly at one point.

I don't like the preflop call at all.
You pay 72k with a stack of 340k. What are you hoping for on the flop? You have to go broke in a lot more situations than just with a set to make the preflop call profitable. And with 77 you will almost always get some overcards on the flop.
If you think 77 is too strong, it only makes sense to go allin preflop after his 3bet.

But since you said he was not overly aggressive and he most likely won't fold to a shove (he gets 2:1 odds and has the chips), I would just fold.
