Living "the Dream"

Wally Sombero is well-known around Manila poker circles, having been playing hold'em since the day it first invaded this island nation. He's also a bit of a "card". Sombero was the button for a recent hand on Table 4. After one player limped in for 200 chips, Sombero also limped in. It seemed at first he had only thrown a single black-and-white (100) chip into the pot, but after a few seconds an additional chip fell onto the table, as if from above.

Sombero looked up at the ceiling a few times, as if to say, "Where'd that come from?" He then said, "My name's Spiderman."
