Straight On the Board but O'Connell Still Doubles

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The hijack opened to 800 before the cutoff three-bet. Drew O'Connell then jammed for 9,500 from the button and only the cutoff called.

Drew O'Connell: A?Q?
Cutoff: 10?10?

The 7?6?3? flop kept the pocket pair well ahead, while the 4? turn gave O'Connell the superior flush draw. The 5? river put a straight on the board but also gave O'Connell the flush to scoop the pot.
