Flushes!

Came across an unusual situation in a BH recently and realised that there is something fundamental that I don't actually know. I decided to air on the side of caution, but here is the hand I'm referring to.
Obviously there is a flush on the board, should I have called on the river? I mean we both had flush to the Ace - but if he had say, the queen of diamonds, and I called, would he win the pot or would it be split?

And never ever call the river. Its the top 5 cards. Even if he has the 8 of diamonds he beats you.
... or if villain has 58d or 8Td to make the str8 flush
given it for your tournament with not much invested has to be a fold although players can make a move here to nick a pot that should be split
Fold pre.
Definitely fold the river, it's based on all 5 diamonds used to make the flush so as Gazza said if he has 8+ diamonds, you lose. Also which should a massive overbet shove, I'd be pretty confident he has Qd or maaaybe 8Tdd
