On the next draw, both men took one card, and the unknown player led out with a bet this time. Mueller called and stood pat. His opponent stood pat as well, and he fired one more bet. Mueller called again, turning over 8-6-5-3-2. His eighty-six wasn't bad, but his opponent had drawn an eighty-five: 8-5-4-3-2. After that little hit, Mueller has slipped back to 15,200.
