A Roothlus Knockout

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

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}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

, and he was indeed ahead of the all-in player's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

. An ace on the flop all but locked it up, and the board ended up reading {2-Diamonds}

{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.
