Professor Puzzled

A sizeable pot had already built, the board reading {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. The small blind put out a single 5,000 chip and sent Howard Lederer into the tank for several minutes. Looking tortured, he folded his hands over his eyes and bowed his head toward the felt as he pondered a call.

Some time later, Lederer made a frustrated fold.

"What did you put him on?" he asked, turning to the long-haired gentleman to his right.

"A flush."

"A flush?! He didn't have a flush," muttered the Professor as he counted down the 17,500 remaining in his stack.
