Big Stax 500 (Day 1B): Finster Flops The Nuts

Level 10 is about to end, with the blinds going up to 800/1,600/200.  Right before break we walked by Table 72, where Norman Michalek was all-in and at risk with A K against A A.  Now Norman didn't look pleased to see his spot...kind of like this:

Norm's Not Happy


But after the 10 J Q flop, we saw a little smile out of Norm:

Norman "Chuckie Finster" Michalek

Michalek would have his opponent drawing to a chop on the turn, and would win the pot worth over 100,000.  The likeness of Norman to Chuckie Finster (from the show Rugrats) was first noted by Alex Rocha while in Vegas for the WSOP, and Michalek has been a great sport about it.
