Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP raises, CO calls, 1 fold, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG 3-bets, MP caps, CO calls, SB calls,

I was running well at all 4 of my tables. Two ways to look at this situation. With this many callers I'm going to have to get hit pretty hard for it to be worth continuing. With this many players I'm getting great odds to continue.

Hero calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (20 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB bets,

With the gutshot and backdoor flush, if I was closing the action here it's an easy call. With all the preflop action, and all those players behind me, it's an easy fold. Did I say how well I was running?

Hero calls, UTG raises, MP folds, CO calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (14 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets, CO folds, SB calls,

Now I have the dbl gutshot and a huge pot. There is no more folding

Hero calls.

River: (17 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets, SB folds,

Did I say there was no more folding?

Hero calls.

Final Pot: 19 BB

Results in white below: 
UTG has Ah 6h (high card, ace).
Hero has 5s 8s (one pair, fives).
Outcome: Hero wins 19 BB.

You going to give us UTG's name so we can be forewarned? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
