Someone Get Him a Monkey Paw

Ray Romano has been using a money clip as his card protector today. A few hands ago, while playing with it, he managed to break it.

That seems to have unleashed some momentary bad luck on Romano (like breaking a mirror). He was dealt {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} and raised it up to 6,000 after Christopher Bonita raised to 1,700. Bonita called, then checked a {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} flop. Romano bet 10,000. Bonita moved all in for a total of about 25,000 and Romano quickly called. He was in bad shape; his cowboys were facing Bonita's {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. Nobody improved on the turn and river.

Romano has just 10,000 chips left.
