Rags to Riches

Adam "Roothlus" Levy started Level 5 with just ten big blinds (4,000 chips). He found wired queens early in the level, but when he shoved an opponent looked him up with two kings.

The board brought a queen.

Now Roothlus has a massive chip lead heads up after rivering two pair against his opponent. The board read {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} when Levy moved all in and was called. Levy opened {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and his opponent mucked.
