Nothing like hitting a monster then (before you can even decide how to bet it to make the max profit) you see not one but two people move all-in ahead of you.
Were you worried someone might have 8 5/T when the Turn landed?

There wasn't time to worry. The only players in the hand were all in on the flop so the turn & river came up without time to even spot the threat. (Actually your post was the first time I even noticed it--ignorance is bliss and I remain the most blissful poker player I know.)
