Sternheimer Survives
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Limits: 160,000-560,000
Philip Sternheimer limped from the small blind and Bruno Furth raised to 480,000 from the big blind. Sternheimer limp-raised to 1,440,000 and Furth called,
Sternheimer jammed for just under 3,000,000 on the 9♥A♠J♥ flop, and Sternheimer called.
Philip Sternheimer: A♦7♣4♣3♦ 
Bruno Furth: A♣Q♦J♦5♦
Furth had top two pair, and Sternheimer was on the verge of elimination. But, the rest of the board ran out 8♣5♥ and Sternheimer won half the pot with an eight-five low to stay alive.
