Triple Up for Burneikis
Level 27
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Traian Stanciu opened to 300,000 from early position and was called by Kym Nguyen in the cutoff.
Short-stacked Vladas Burneikis then produced a three-bet jam for 600,000, with both of his opponents calling.
With betting on the side, the flop came J♠9♠8♠, and Stanciu check-called a bet of 400,000 from Nguyen.
The 6♠ river and Q♥ turn were checked through by both players.
Stanciu revealed Q♦10♣ for the queen-high straight, but it was no good as Burneikis had K♦10♠ for the one-card flush, which was also good against Nguyen's A♥8♥ for a pair of eights.
A great start for Burneikis to the final table as he secures a much needed triple up.
