You don't want him to call with 8-4 when you have J-J?

You win that coup 85 times out of every 100. It don't get better than that.
 
Embrace him, be nice to him, offer to play him every day. And let him enjoy his moment of glory when he wins just 15 times every 100. Because that means you'll be very rich, very soon.
 
Probably best not to call him a "clown" either. He is your future profit. Give him a kiss, be nice to him.

You might say this win is underved but the only reason they do it is because a win is possible. 

It's quite clear this guy is a loose caller and doesn't thing of an opponents hand range, the call was done as pure luck, he'll be hoping you held a hand like Ax and mistakenly think that is like a coin flip not realizing it's the pocket pair's  lack of improving that give an AK it's coin toss. If this MTT was a BH you'll have to expect this becaue a head prize will cause loads of people to do it.

I am sometimes wound up by these but reading mental poker book I've begun to realize you think heavily about a bad beat, you'll start thinking they coming one after another, what's really happened is a small loss can look like a big loss whilst a big win can look like a small win and hands which look like bad beats will be really due to your own mistakes.
