This guy in my room who is sometimes a little unorthodox but is a beast and seems to consistenly build monster stacks played this hand. I wouldn't have played it this way myself but I respect his play so I wanted to see what you guys think.

both villains had sets and the hero scooped the pot. I probably would have raised at some point because a) scare card could come (spade), or b) Not outrageous to think MP could but on the nut flush draw, right?
I asked hero why he wasnt worried about the flush coming and he said flop raise was too big for MP guy to continue with the flush draw. MP is very solid, so ya I guess its a slightly bad call on flop with a flush draw so guess this makes sense. Hero said that he only called (and didnt raise) so that if the board paired, he could get away from the hand on the river. Do you guys think this is worth it? Like I said, I've seen mostly impressive things from this guy and he may be the best player that plays in my room so I'm assuming he made the right play here. Watchu think?? Thanks !
