No MSPT Player of the Year Points for Hodge in Black Hawk

Mark Hodge currently sits atop the MSPT Season 6 Player of the Year Leaderboard with 3,540 points, a solid 540 ahead of second place Blake Bohn. Unfortunately for Hodge, he won't be adding any more points here in Black Hawk as he was just eliminated from the tournament with no plan to reenter.

As Hodge told it, local player Nader Wahdan opened for 3,500 under the gun and got five callers, including Hodge with the . The flop came down with two spades, and Wahdan bet 6,000. Action folded to Hodge, and he raised to 16,000, which was about half his stack.

Wahdan made the call and then shoved all in when a third spade hit the turn. Hodge begrudgingly called off and discovered Wahdan held two spades for a flush. The river failed to help Hodge, and he headed for the exit.
