Default MTT hand - how to lose the chip lead

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: ITH Forums)

Situation - 45mins into 10+1 MTT we are chip leader by about 3000 chips
BB was a solid player, more so than I gave him credit for in this hand.
After I played this hand I realized that getting into a big hand was silly at this point as I really had time to pick my spots. I'm thinkin fold the turn.

MP1 (t1935)
MP2 (t830)
Hero (t10735)
CO (t3220)
Button (t1495)
SB (t1225)
BB (t4780)
UTG (t1870)
UTG+1 (t2875)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with , .
UTG calls t50, 3 folds, Hero raises to t250, 3 folds, BB calls t200, UTG folds.

Flop: (t575) , , (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t400, BB calls t400.

Turn: (t1375) (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t800, BB raises to t4130, Hero calls t3330.

River: (t9635) (2 players)

Final Pot: t9635

I'd probably do the same although I don't see the need for his huge raise unless he's really scared of a hand and just wants the dead money. Could have KT and saw this time as best to chase it and hoping no one wakes up with a flush...I don't know though, you had the chips to call and ended with TPTK, interested to see what went down.

Very hard to lay down, but his reraise all in screams a better hand than top pair. Trouble is you have draws.

It's a great laydown if you can make it and totally understandable if you call.

On a good day I might be able to let this go later in an MTT but in the first hour I don't overthink things in order to get a nice big stack so I'd probably call.

You've got the . . . . .

When you get called by a player out of position on a board like this . . . look out!!!

I'd probably check the turn, even though it gives us top pair. I'm likely checking this hand down the rest of the way unless I see a diamond on the river.

No reason to get into a big pissing match with another big stack over a marginal hand like this when you've got an M of 150 or so.
