Seeing a card

[dachord]

Home game, tournament style, $100 buy-in, winner take all. After 1 tourney was completed another one started. The player to my right (villain) is LAG and very dramatic. I quickly learned that when the cards were dealt he would look at them immediately and start his act. Whenever he got a good card, he would frown, sigh, rub his brow, essentially trying to make everyone believe that he didn't have anything. So I'm watching him closely whenever the cards are dealt. During one hand the dealer (who is sitting across from me)tosses the first card and as the card sails through the air I catch a very brief glimpse of the distinct pattern of the Ace of spades. The card lands on the table face down, the player picks it up and starts his hollywood acting which confirms to me that the card was indeed an ace. I'm dealt A9o. As usual, he raises up his small blind to 4x bb. I call. The flop comes down Axx. He leads out with another 4xbb. I call. The turn is a 9. He makes another 4x bet and I raise. Folds all around to villain. He goes all in, I call. River is a blank. He has AQ. I win the pot with 2 pair and elminate him from the tourney. Thoughts?
