From CardPlayer:
All-In Called with 8-High
On a flop of 10c 7c 5s , Tim Rod bets $300 and his opponent raises to $600. Rod calls and the turn puts the 3c on the board. Rod again bets out with $1,500 and is again raised by his opponent to $4,000. Rod calls and the river puts the 3s on the board. Rod pushes all-in and his opponent immediately calls. Rod flips up Kc Qc for a turned flush. His opponent says, "Do I have a straight flush? Oh, no I don't" as he shows 8d 6s for 8-high.
How can you CALL with 8 high? Nice way to blow $10,000. I can understand maybe trying to represent a full boat and going all in and getting called by the non-nut flush. But that is just a terrible play in my opinion.

It wasn't even "representing" the boat. The board paired on the river, when the donkey made the all-in call.
I take that back. He was representing the boat for the 5 seconds between the word "Showdown" and the turning up of his cards.
yeah, i was saying the only way its possible to have all your chips in the pot in that scenario is if the donk moved all in on the river. but he called with 8 high. sweet.
yeah, that's pretty dumb, there is no bluffing to be done when the other guy bet all-in after the river.
Does Tim Rod qualify as too first names? It's no Bernie Dennis or Ricky Bobby, but I think it still counts.
