The critical component, is that while the pitcher stayed in contact with the rubber after feinting to 2nd, he stepped towards 3rd before throwing there. If during his feint, the pitcher comes off the rubber, he is now a fielder and not restricted on how/where he can throw.
A common move that results in a balk, is when the pitcher feints to 3rd and pivots on both feet (while staying in contact with the rubber) and throws to first - failing to step towards the base he is throwing to with his non-pivot foot.
Good no-call Livtrav!
