On the turn someone could have made a flush or a straight, and you loose against both. I would definitely check.
On the river on the other hand, I really don't know if I would have lost my entire stack or just call.There are few hands that beat you AA,A8,A7,88. I wouldn't seriously consider any boat with a 9, because that came on the turn. He had the A7 in the blinds right? You had a very disguised hand, but his hand was even more disguised.
I would think the check on the turn, when the 3rd flush card hits, indicates he is afraid of the flush or has a small flush. I'm not sure what other people's experience is, I think a check on the 3rd flush card is hard to interpret.
