A Set of Treys Help Paunescu to Double
Nivel 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
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 J♣3♣2♦, 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: 3♥3♠ 
Murat Bayyurt: Q♦Q♣
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 A♦4♦ and Paunescu doubled up through Bayyurt.
