With a Stack of 2525, Will the Man Survive?

A player in middle position raised, and it folded to Shane "Shaniac" Schleger who reraised all in. A count revealed his reraise was for exactly 2,525 more.

It folded back to the original raiser who thought a good while, then finally called. Schleger grinned when he saw his opponent's hand — {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} — then he tabled his own {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}. The board rolled out {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, and Schelger's fours held up, enabling him to survive.
