I think somebody miscalculated the payback. Using the Wizard of Odds calculator, I get 93.5%. Beau Rivage, where this is reportedly located, is not renowned for high payback vp.

Agreeing with dinghy, the payout for two pair in your list is 2 instead of the more standard 3.

Two Pair might account for 18% or 19% of the return for this type of game. So, reducing that payout by 1/3 knocks the EV down by more than 6% overall.

Not exactly. The 99.08% game should have this pay schedule
