This was obviously the worst run out possible, but I would have gotten quartered even if I had only made the nut low without improving my high.
Just to reiterate, villain is probably just another standard PLO8 TAG (he fooled me with the T987 open) and the bet sizing is telegraphing his exact holding in this specific hand.
1/3 pot on the flop: "I have the nut low draw and nut flush draw, please come along, but don't raise until I hit". 80% pot on the turn: "Ok, I made top pair on top of that and none of you has shown any strength on the flop, you can jam now if you want ..."
