Fast Start for Burtin

Josh Noy

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kirill Burtin opened to 2,000 in the cutoff and was called by the small blind. The big blind then three-bet to 7,700 and both calls were made.

Action check to Burtin on the 7♥J♣8♦ flop, firing a bet of 8,500 with only the big blind coming along. Another check on the 8♥ turn saw Burtin size up to 19,500, good enough to take down the pot as the big blind mucked.
