A Set of Treys Help Paunescu to Double

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Nicolae Paunescu
Nicolae Paunescu

Nicolae Paunescu defended his big blind to an early position Murat Bayyurt raise. The two players saw the dealer fan out of a flop of J32, which Paunescu checked. Bayyurt bet 375,000 and was met by check-shove from Paunescu for 2,050,000. Bayyurt called and the cards were flipped over.

Nicolae Paunescu: 33 All in
Murat Bayyurt: QQ

Paunescu had flopped a set of treys and was in a commanding position to double-up and leave Bayyurt with dust. The rest of the board ran out A4 and Paunescu doubled up through Bayyurt.
