Unfortunately your guys are right. TheGiljotin was not able to lay down 3rd best flush and called after thinking for a long time.

Here is the end of the hand:

billbuff1 folded
mervo folded
TheGiljotin went all-in - $109.90
Hero went all-in - $2.50

** Dealing the turn: Q[s]

** Dealing the river: 5[h]
Hero shows: 9 of Spades, 7 of Spades, 2 of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds
TheGiljotin shows: 8 of Clubs, 10 of Hearts, 2 of Diamonds, Queen of Diamonds
TheGiljotin wins $216.50 from the main pot

I play a lot of O8 and the thing about this hand is that you have the scariest card in the deck. No good player should be able to call a big bet without the A of diamonds in this spot. However before you make this move you have to consider the size of the stacks your bluffing into. In this situation the guy is not ganna be able to fold a flush with the size of his stack right there especially if he has a decent low draw to go along with it.
