David "Bakes" Baker checked on fourth and then called when Matthew Ashton put out a bet. The latter took the lead on fifth by pairing fours, and he wasted little time in betting 24,000. Baker made the call and then bet after Ashton checked sixth. The Brit then woke up with a check-raise to 48,000, Baker called and it was off to seventh street.
Ashton bet again but he couldn't shake Baker. "Pair of fours," a resigned Ashton said before showing 
. Baker then tabled the 
for a pair of fives for high and an eight-seven low to scoop.
