Justin Sternberg Takes Pot With Better Two Pair

Justin Sternberg opened to 7,000 from the hijack, Michael Krill called the cutoff, and Cary Katz called the small blind.
The flop landed [ah3c2c] and Katz checked. Sternberg bet 8,000, Krill folded, and Katz called.
The [tc] fell on the turn and both players checked to the [5c] river. Katz led for 5,000 and Sternberg called.
Katz tabled [ad2d] but it was no good against the [as5s] of Sternberg.
