Sternheimer Survives with Half on Seventh

Level 7

Philip Sternheimer: 8♦5♦ / 2♦9♥8♣J♥ / Xx All in
Bryan Pimlott: XxXx / 3♣2♥6♥10♣ / Xx
Max Pescatori: XxXx / A♠3♥Q♦4♥ / Xx

Philip Sternheimer found himself all-in on third with multiple bets going into the middle on this street.

A bet went in from Bryan Pimlott and Max Pescatori on the side pot on fourth and fifth, but sixth and seventh checked through.

Pimlott tabled A♣J♣5♠ in the hole for six-five low, and Pescatori had A♥K♦9♣ for a lone pair of aces.

Sternheimer slowly peeled his final card baccarat-style, as he needed to improve upon his one pair of eights. A two-across heart was promising, and it was the 5♥, giving him two pair to win the high for the main pot and survive.
