Burchwell Vaults to the Top
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Connor Burchwell opened to 2,300 from middle position and was called by Brandon Banet in the small blind. The big blind three-bet to 7,000 and both Burchwell and Banet called. The flop fell 
and both of the blinds checked to Burchwell who bet 7,000 and was called by both opponents.
The turn brought the 
and the action checked around to the 
on the river. Banet and the big blind checked one more time only to have Burchwell drop in a bet of 30,000. Banet gave it some thought but folded while the big blind eventually paid Burchwell off. Burchwell turned over 
for two pair and raked in a monster pot to take over the chip lead.
