Action folded to Jason Bender, who currently leads the MSPT Season 7 POY race with 900 points, and he raised to 5,000 on the button. Tyler Metzinger pushed back with a three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind, and after the player in the big folded, Bender four-bet all in.

Metzinger thought long and hard before calling off the 35,000 or so he had behind, and the cards were turned up.

“I didn’t think you were that strong,” Metzinger admitted. Still, he was drawing to two live cards.

The flop meant Metzinger could also win with a ten, but he was left wanting as the blanked on the turn followed by the river.

Metzinger was eliminated on the hand while Bender chipped up to 175,000.
