A Nice Flop for a Blind's Hand

In a little battle of the blinds, Craig Hartman raised to 3,500 from the small and got the call from Lauren Kling in the big.

On a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}, Hartman took a long time to act before finally over-betting the pot for 10,000. Kling let out a soft "Wow" when the chips hit the felt, and she took a few seconds before finally mucking her hand.

Hartman turned over {7-Spades}{8-Spades} for the straight flush draw, prompting another player at the table to ask, "So, when did you like your hand?"
