BB shows 9c 9h (three of a kind, nines).
Hero shows 8s 8h (three of a kind, eights).
Outcome: BB wins 15.75 BB. 

With all my raising, I couldn't see him checking a big flush on the river. I didn't read him as capping the flop with a weak flush. I concluded then that he didn't have a flush, so I bet.

At least I was right about him not having a flush...

I agree, bet the river and be happy you didn't lose more.

Set over set = ouch.
