Brian Wright raised to 11,000 from under the gun and in middle position, Benjamin Szwimer three-bet to 35,000 which only Wright called.

The flop rolled out and Wright check-called a bet of 25,000 from Szwimer.

On the turn , Wright checked over to Szwimer who sized up to 80,000 and Wright called.

Wright thought for a bit before opting to check the river and Szwimer moved all in for 263,000 effective, sending Wright into the tank. After just under a minute of thought, Wright tossed his hand into the muck.

Szwimer tabled for just the two pair on the board with an ace-kicker and the MSPT Gold Card champion ascended into the chip lead of the tournament.

• Benjamin Szwimer - 761,000 (152 bb)
• Brian Wright - 263,000 (52 bb)
