A Roothlus Knockout

With the betting folded around to the button, a short-stacked player moved all in for ~8,000. The small blind quickly folded, but Adam "Roothlus" Levy paused for just a minute. After glancing at his cards, he stared at his opponent's chips fanned out in a line toward the center of the table. After he made a mental count, he shrugged and quietly called.

Levy tabled {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, and he was indeed ahead of the all-in player's {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades}. An ace on the flop all but locked it up, and the board ended up reading {2-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {3-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Levy adds those 8,000 chips to his stack, and he's up to 34,000 now.
