So Grossberger not saying anything would be better than Grossberger saying he maybe has two pair beat? I'm not buying it - the actual information given to the villain is the same, namely: Grossberger's hand may or may not be better than two pair.
Also fwiw, if you had bolded a different part of that quote, it changes the whole way you could read it: "players are responsible for holding onto their cards until the winner is declared." Additionally, you'd have to argue pretty hard to any floor person that I personally know to say that "Maybe I have two pair beat" would be equated with deliberately miscalling a hand.
How can you "call a hand" at all without actually claiming to have something in particular? Again, I really don't buy it.
