This is an un-documented situation and is usually to be clarified before starting the game.

However, the most common way people play last pocket 8 ball is that you can not have the same last pocket as your opponent. If your opponent ends up with the same last pocket as you, you get to choose which pocket will be their last pocket.

For more details and other ways to handle this scenario, see Same Last Pocket as Opponent in Last Pocket 8 Ball, What is Your Last Pocket? Someone previously asked the same question, and the answers are fully expanded upon there.

So in the last pocket 8 ball scenario above, if the opposite player shot his last ball in my pocket, and I choose a pocket for him as his last pocket, who turn is next to play at this point?

You would designate your opponent's last pocket (presumably you would pick the one with the most difficult shot for him or her), and your opponent proceeds to the table for his next shot.
