The Nuts Don't Hold Up

Holding {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} John White and another player saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. White called a bet holding the nut straight, and after the {5-Clubs} hit on the turn all the money went in the middle. White's opponent held {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for top pair and the flush draw...and the {2-Clubs} on the river gave his opponent the runner-runner flush to eliminate White.
