Big Stax 300 (Day 1C): Norm No Longer Has Chips

Level 13 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/300)
Total Day 1C Entries: 295

It's the story of tournament poker, as Norman Michalek grinds all day to finally get himself a stack that he can do something with...and he's out.  Only two hands back from break, three players would be standing up at Table 47, which we all know means something is going down.  There would be a three way all-in between Michalek, Paul Tong, and another short stacked player.  The pot would be close to 280,000 total (there was a side pot), with the cards tabled by all:

Tong: 7♣ 7
Michalek: A K♣
Player X: J♣ J

Runout: 7♠ A♣ 8♠ 5 K♠

The ace would been seen, and it seemed as if Michalek was going to grab the lead in this monstrous pot, but the seven was hiding right behind it.  After the turn, Michalek was drawing dead, and his day would end right there.  Tong has now made his way to the top five of the leaderboard, sitting with just under 300,000.
