Barrows making a break for it

Online qualifier Ben Barrows has been sitting unobtrusively between Jose Barbero (270,000) and Jacob Baumgartner (180,000) which, given their stacks, has been a fairly reasonable strategy. Over the last couple or so he’s been building up his stack and is now on a level playing field with them on some 200,000. He seems to be playing a fairly measured game three-betting 
for 20,900 from the big blind over Barbero’s 8,500 small blind raise and then checking down the 
board. There are a lot of chips on that table now and should any of those three go out before the bubble it will almost certainly mean that one of the other two have a monster stack.
