Greg Mueller was already all in on fourth street against Ryan Leng, who was ahead with a pair of aces.

Thomas Taylor: A♣8♣

Taylor had a dominating lead with his pair and flush draw, and Damm was left without outs after the 5♠ turn. The A♦ river made Taylor a full hosue to finish the hand in style as Damm headed to the exit.
