Flopped set vs. possible straight

I'd have popped this one more time on the turn, I don't believe UTG has a straight here, I'm even inclined to say he has Ax clubs or possibly Q9. Most Party 2/4 players I think would wait until the turn to raise with the flopped nuts or he would have just called hoping for LP to raise the flop so he can 3-bet when it comes back to him, I'm not sure he'd want to shut everyone out right away. Would UTG open limp with 99??? I think that might be the only hand you are behind to. I also would have liked to charged the player behind me 2 cold but fortunately he dropped for one more bet when the turn hit. Had you raised the turn and got 3-bet, then I think you could safely say he has the straight but I'm still leaning towards Ax clubs that was trying to clean up an ace on the flop then decided to cap for value when it got back to him.
