Fourth street saw Ellis check-call a bet from FBT. Both players checked fifth street, and Ellis fired out on sixth. Mueller called a bet there, as well as one on seventh street. Ellis tabled {5-Clubs}

, having begun with buried fives and ending with a seven-high straight. Mueller flashed buried aces, but they were naked and not good enough to top Ellis.
