Lee Checks Back with Nut Straight

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Omaha-8

From the hijack seat, Kristopher Tong raised. Mack Lee reraised from the cutoff seat, and Tong made the call.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Tong check-called a bet from Lee to see the {A-Spades} land on the turn. Tong led with a bet, and Lee made the call. Then on the river, Tong checked, and Lee checked behind.

Tong showed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and Lee showed the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Both players held the same low, but Lee's seven-high straight won him the high.

After the hand, there was some chatter about how Lee checked behind on the river with the nut straight, but Lee admitted that he didn't know he actually had a straight.
