Sternheimer Survives with Half on Seventh

Level 7

Philip Sternheimer: 85 / 298J / Xx All in
Bryan Pimlott: XxXx / 32610 / Xx
Max Pescatori: XxXx / A3Q4 / 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 AJ5 in the hole for six-five low, and Pescatori had AK9 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.
