Begovic Soars to the Top
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Amar Begovic limped in on the button and Petr Setka raised to 5,200 in the small blind. Ingo Paulus folded his big blind and Begovic took a few seconds before making the call.
The flop came 
, Setka continued with a bet of 6,200 and Begovic responded with a raise to 21,200. This sent Setka into the tank and after a while, he decided to put in a big stack of chips and announced he was all-in. Begovic snap-called with 
for the flopped straight while Setka held 
for the overpair.
The turn was the 
which now gave Setka the nines as an out to stay alive and double up but the river brought them the 
which didn't change things. Setka nodded and quietly made his way out of the tournament area.
