We flipped our cards over, and the only person that stayed in with me had the Queen of clubs, and she started reaching for the chips.
I said, "We split them, cause we both had Ace high flushes", and of course she disagreed. I know for a fact that for example Party Poker.net splits the pot when this occurs. I'm pretty sure (although I can't say for 100% sure) that I've seen this happen on tournaments on TV.
Anyway, they asked the tournament organizer and he said the same thing. It goes down the line to the next card. So I had to leave the table.
I still think it was bullshit though.
Not bullshit, and Party Poker does it the same way. As has already been menioned in this thread a few times, all 5 cards are looked at to break a tie. She had an ace flush with a queen kicker. You only had an ace flush with an 8. You lose that hand at any tourney where the organizer has a clue and at any online site.
