Karel Havelka Surging to the Top

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

There was a raise to 12,000 and a three-bet all in to 22,500. Karel Havelka was next to act, and he four-bet to 36,000. Everyone else folded, and the two remaining players tabled their cards. Havelka was ahead with {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} versus his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and Havelka's set was good enough to take down the pot. He's now close to being the chip leader.
