Michele Limongi completed with the {A-Clubs} , and Desmond Portano called with the {5-Diamonds} up.

Limongi: (x-x) / {a-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} / (x)
Portano: (x-x) / {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {k-Spades} / (x)

Portano bet his pair on fourth street, and he bet again on fifth. Limongi called both those bets, then made one of his own when Portano checked sixth street. The call came, and both men checked seventh street.

Portano revealed {3-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {7-Clubs} down for the pair of fives with the eight-seven low. Limongi turned over {j-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds} , and his pair of sixes was good for the high half. Portano gets the low, and it's a split pot.
