Top Pair for Murphy

John Murphy made it 1,000 to go preflop and a player on the button moved all in for his remaining 2,625. Murphy made the call and showed J-8 while his opponent held pocket fours. Murphy hit an eight on the flop and eliminated his opponent while raising his stack up past 27,000.
