I don't really understand your river call. You are essentially hoping he has AA with a worse kicker and hasn't made a low? You are easily looking at AA with a K,Q,J kicker, aces up, or those hands with a low. So basically you are never winning this pot outright and chopping rarely. Fold 7th.

Somewhat paradoxically, I think you're hoping that he has made a low. If he has made a low, you're much more likely to be good on the high side -- you'll only get half the pot, but I think your EV for calling is higher here if your opponent made a low.
