Nun Too Happy

We were passing a table when a whirring sound grabbed our attention. As we approached, we noticed that an all-in player - who we later unearthed as Tom Naygrow - had wound up a toy nun and let her run wild across the felt.

His opponent, meanwhile, was mulling over his decision, but quickly made the call with {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. As Nagrow tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, he wound up the nun once again and off she went. "OK, Tom, no bad beats," commanded Naygrow as the nun repeated her route.

Flop: {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

"Oh, Tom," he added, but the turn and river were both safe, the {10-Hearts} and {6-Diamonds} hitting the felt for a double up to 1,700 and keeping both him and the nun alive.

"Get your chips, Tom" he concluded, still referring to himself in the third person.
