Eight High is Good

OK I paired the river but 8-high would have been good anyway:

Full Tilt Poker, $3/$6 NL Hold’em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker.comHand History Converter

MP: $600
CO: $1,712.40
Hero (BTN): $1,495
SB: $1,992.90
BB: $318
UTG: $1,206

Pre-Flop: 7 8 dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, MP raises to $21, CO folds, Hero calls $21, SB folds, BB calls $15

Flop: ($66) 6 Q 5 (3 Players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets $44, BB calls $44, MP folds

Turn: ($154) K (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1,430 and is All-In, BB calls $253 and is All-In

River: ($660) 8 (2 Players – 1 is All-In)

Results: $660 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed 7 8 (a pair of Eights) and WON $657 (+$339 NET)
BB showed 3 4 (King Queen high) and LOST (-$318 NET)
