"That's What You Get When You Call a Raise With the Eight-Nine Off"

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Cliff Josephy dispensed words of wisdom.

Mike Murphy held {j-}{j-} on a board with a jack and two eights, and he got a shorter-stacked opponent all in with {9-}{8-} against his top full house. The player got up as soon as he saw Murphy's hand, and he didn't hit his one-outer.

"I didn't want to tell him he was drawing dead because I had an eight in my hand," Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy said. "That's what you get when you call a raise with the eight-nine off."

Words of wisdom from a legend of the game.

Also, here are some more stacks of late registering notables.
