Boatman Denied Double-Up in Cruel Fashion

Level 35
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Neither player had noticed that the blinds went up and Tobias Peters limped the small blind. Barny Boatman raised to 550,000 and then snap-called when Peters limp-shoved.
Barny Boatman: A?A?
Tobias Peters: K?Q?
"It's a good hand to make two pair," Peters told his friend on the rail.
The A?8?4? flop saw Peters change his mind, as he added "I need two clubs".
Sure enough, the 3? turn and 6? river brought a flush on the board for an unlikely split pot.
