Routos On a Roll

We caught up to the action just in time to see Nicolas Vaca bet out 1300 preflop. When it got to James Routos in middle position he raised and made it 4,000 to see a flop. A third player then moved all in for 14,975 more. Vaca folded and Routos went into the tank. After debating his options for a few moments Routos made the call and cards were flipped.

Routos: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-}{Q-}

The {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop allowed for Routos to take an early lead and with a {8-Clubs} on the turn and a {3-Clubs} on the river secured a win for Routos who now has moved back into one of the top stacks.
