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.
