Stefano Terziani limped the small blind and called a raise of 240,000 from Jon Kyte in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K?Q?10?, and Terziani checked to Kyte who jammed all in. Terziani wasted no time calling off his stack of 1,115,000 and both hands were tabled.
Stefano Terziani: A?A?
Jon Kyte: J?10?
Terziani set the trap with aces and Kyte flopped a pair and an open-ended straight draw. The 3? turn gave Kyte even more outs with a flush draw but the board pairing Q? changed nothing, sending the double toward Terziani.

Following the successful return of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas last year, PokerStars announced in May that the NAPT will return to Resorts World, Las Vegas, this November for another ten-day poker extravaganza.
The series is highlighted by the NAPT Las Vegas Main Event, which has a $5,300 buy-in. Last year's champion, Sami Bechahed, topped the 1,095-entry field and took home a substantial $268,945.
For those who missed out last year or looking to have a second bite of the cherry, you'll be pleased to know that you can secure your seat in the Main Event for a fraction of the buy-in.

Maria Konnikova: K?3?
Konnikova's two pair held on the 6? river to secure Sagra's bounty token.
Fabrice Maltez remarked "Maria, king-three?!"
Konnikova simply replied "suited."

Julien Sitbon opened under the gun and Paul Lagan called on the button before Cherish Andrews came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 6?5?2?, and the action checked to Lagan who fired 120,000. Andrews put in a check-raise to 350,000, and that was enough to earn the pot as both players mucked their hands.
