Flop Analysis
Checking is the preferred play here despite our massive equity. With a flush draw and gutshot, we have enough strength to check-call or check-raise, which protects our entire checking range.
We correctly checked a monster draw on the flop to protect our range, then maximized value when the turn completed our flush.

The 5s is a dream card, completing our flush and a straight simultaneously. After the flop went check-check, we must lead out for value to get paid by straights and lower spades.
