"Four Lead Changes in One Hand"

Last night I played one of the most interesting hands I've ever played. It was a $2,600 pot in which the lead changed 4 separate times. Here's how it went down:

The game is $5-$5 NL. I bought in for $300, but only have about $250 in front of me.

In the BB, I'm dealt Kc Ks. 6 or 7 people limp in for $5 and it's my option. I raise $50 more and get called by 2 players. The pot is $180 before the flop.

The flop is Ts 5h 2s. I'm first to act, and know that I can't fuck around with this hand. I'm clearly worried about the straight or the flush getting there, so there won't be any slowplaying this time.

I'm first to act, and I move all-in for $195.

Player 2 calls the $195, and Player 3 comes over the top and raises all-in for $900 more. Player 2 calls.

The main pot is $765 and there is $1,800 in the side pot.

What do you think everyone held?

If you said, "a set and a flush draw," then you're right.

Player 2 has Js 6s, just a spade draw.
Player 3 has a 222 with no spades.

Player 3 (with the set of dueces) has the best hand and decides to take one-card insurance. He insuring against a King or the 7 spades. I believe he locks up $1,000.

The turn is a 7s, and Player 2 just took the lead in the hand with his flush. Now he decides to insure his hand against the board pairing, case deuce, or one of the remaining spades.

Luckily, I picked up outs on the turn becuase I hold the Ks.

The river spikes a Qs, and my King high flush wins the $765 main pot. Needless to say, the house got spanked on the insurance.

I thought it was very interesting the way the lead changed every time a card came out: KK before the flop, 22 after the flop, J6 after the turn, KK after the river.
