Richard Lee Clipped

On a board reading {3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} Richard Lee led out for 2,000 into two players.

One opponent folded, but one was stubborn enough to throw in two yellow 1,000-denomination chips to signify a call.

"If you have the flush you have me" said Lee's opponent.

"No you got it" announced Lee as he turned over his {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw and rivered pair.

His opponent turned over {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a flopped set of treys and the pot to leave Lee on less then 2,000 in chips.
