Aces vs. Aces

We were wandering by Table 50 when we heard a player was all in and had been called. The table erupted in laughter when the hands were turned over:

Seat 8: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Seat 9: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The laughter died down a little when the flop came {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}, giving Seat 9 a runner-runner flush draw. Things quickly got serious when the {9-Spades} hit the turn. Seat 8 stood from his seat and said, "Don't do this to me."

The dealer burned and revealed the {Q-Diamonds} on the river. Seat 8 breathed a big sigh of relief after realizing just how close to elimination he came.
