This is fine, considering his stacksize.

just bet the pot, if he had checked behind and that ace had been any other soot you would have been pretty ticked. fancy play is not needed at all in NL25 and can sometimes just get you into trouble. a better hand to do this with would have been AA with ace of hearts. but even then you would probably do just as well with betting pot shoving turn.
