The board shows 9 9♠ 4 3 when Norm Michalek (Westfield, NJ) and Anthony Anastasi (Glen Mills, PA) both put in 50k.

River: K

Anastasi moves all in for 124k and Michalek goes in the tank.  After about a minute, Michalek calls and Anastasi quickly turns over K K♠ for a rivered full house.

Michalek slowly turns over two Queens and, after a close count, is on the rail and Tweets his disappointment.


Anastasi is now the chip leader with 475k and says the river, "made me feel a lot better," and that even without hitting the King, he was committing his chips to the pot. Adding,"go big or go home."

Anastasi is a chief corporate pilot who likes playing at Parx and likes to travel to wherever there's a good tournament.
