Kerstetter is a Survivor

Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Facing a hijack open to 5,000, Tyson Apostol flat called from the cutoff. Jamie Kerstetter shoved for 24,900, the original raiser folded, and Apostol went into the tank for a few moments.
Apostol decided on a call, and the cards were turned face up:
Jamie Kerstetter:
Tyson Apostol:
Board:
Kerstetter found a pair of fives on the flop, which stayed true through the runout. Apostol asked PokerNews to note that he's a better preflop player than Kerstetter, and both players have chips to maneuver with as the night heads into the final level.
