Doug Lee Walking the "Straight" and Narrow

Preflop, Doug Lee raised to 500 and his opponent in the big blind called. The flop of {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {J-Spades} was checked to Lee and he bet out 200. His opponent then raised to 1,500. Lee went into the tank for a bit and said, "flush draw or something." Lee then made the call.

The turn fell the {A-Diamonds}, and his opponent bet out 3,000. Lee then raised to 7,000 total and said, "How do you like that for your flush draw?" Lee's opponent then went into the tank and thought for several minutes. Finally, Lee called the clock on his opponent. After the floor came over, Lee's opponent made the call.

The river fell the {6-Spades} and both players checked.

Lee showed {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} for the nut straight. His opponent showed {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} for a set. After the hand, Lee moved up to 31,100 chips.
