A tale of two ace rags

The two most memorable hands from last night's tournament both featured ace rags. In the earlier one, I was dealt A7o (ace seven offsuit), and paired both of my hole cards on the flop. I got all my chips into the middle and more than doubled up. That set me up nicely to make the money, which I did. I then got all the way to the final table in great shape - I was second in chips at the time. Unfortunately, I was the first of the final six to hit the rail. On my final hand, I was dealt pocket threes, shoved, and got one caller. He turned over A8o (ace eight offsuit), making me a slight favorite to win the hand. However, he paired his eight on the flop and I was drawing thin. The river gave us both a magic flush, but his was better - an ace high. I'd had high hopes of registering another Full Monty, but it wasn't meant to be.
