Who's Rubbing Scott Freeman?

There's a gentleman to the left of Scott Freeman named Jonathan McGowan who happens to have found an interesting good-luck charm. He's been all in a couple times now and every time all his chips have been in the middle, he turns to Scott Freeman and rubs his shoulder. Apparently, McGowan believes this will help.

So far, so good, as thus far it has worked every time. Most recently when he was all in with A-K against an opponent who held pocket queens. Sure enough, after rubbing Scott's shoulder, the king fell on the river.

Pure chance, or did someone manage to discover a new four-leaf clover?
