Thomas Wahlroos Straight Flushes to Stay Alive

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Clubs}, Thomas Wahlroos and another player check. The turn is {7-Hearts} and Wahlroos checks. The opponent goes all in and Wahlroos calls for 6,300. The opponent has {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the straight. Wahlroos has {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for middle pair, a flush draw, a two way straight draw (one of which ties), and a straight flush draw. He indeed hits one of his many outs with a {5-Hearts} river for the straight flush to double up. Wahlroos has 16,500.
