Roman Volkov opened to 4,500 from early position and was called by Barny Boatman on the button and Maria Konnikova in the big blind.
Konnikova checked to Volkov, who continued for 4,000 on the J♦A♠7♣ flop. Boatman folded, but Konnikova called.
The 8♦ fell on the turn and Konnikova again check-called, this time for a 13,500 bet from Volkov.
Konnikova checked a final time on the 5♣ river.
"Do you have two pair?" Volkov asked before announcing he was all in for his last 55,000. Konnikova immediately called, having Volkov covered, and tabled 10♦9♦ for a turned straight.
Volkov showed he held 5♠5♥ for a rivered set and the rest of his chips were sent over to Konnikova.

The river came the 9♠ and Zapsa moved all in for the rest of Dubonnet's chips, which amounted to roughly 32,000. After doing some inventory, Dubonnet laid down his hand.

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.

Borja Gonzalez opened 3,500 in the cutoff, and Armin Riedl flatted the button before Francesco Riscalzati three-bet to 16,000 from the small blind. Gonzalez snap-called, and Riedl got out of the way.
The dealer spread a flop of K♠8♠6♦, and Riscalzati continued for 9,500. Gonzalez wasted no time making the call.
When the Q♠ fell on the turn, Riscalzati paused momentarily while staring at the board. After a couple of seconds, he fired 16,000 across the line and Gonzalez snap-called again.
The J♠ completed the board on the river, and Riscalzati announced all in, pushing his stack of about 70,000 into the center. Gonzalez surrendered the pot as his cards hit the muck.

As it celebrates 20 years of the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Barcelona, PokerStars announced several rule and procedure changes to maintain game integrity, including new rules banning solvers and preflop charts for players and spectators alike.
Kenny Hallaert, a longtime tournament official who recently signed on as a PokerStars ambassador, announced the changes on social media on Monday as EPT Barcelona kicked off with the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event. They include reductions in shot clock time, new dealer guidelines and changes to the redraw process.
PokerNews spoke with the Belgian poker pro to learn more about the game integrity rule changes, the majority of which he said would be in place in Barcelona and going forward at future stops.
Archibald Seaton opened to 3,500 from the cutoff and was called by Jacques Dan in the small blind and Fernandez Miguez in the big blind.
Action checked through on the K♥Q♠10♥ flop and 6♣ turn. It was checked to Seaton on the 5♥ river and he bet 6,000. Dan called, but then Miguez raised to 20,000.
Seaton quickly let his hand go and Dan called the squeeze. Miguez showed J♣J♥, which was no good against the Q♦J♠ of Dan for a pair of queens to collect the pot.
