Card Protector Creativity

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Any poker player will tell you that protecting your cards is an important part of any poker tournament. While most players choose to use either a tournament chip or some kind of metal coin or medallion to protect their hand, some get a little more creative. Upon scanning the orange section of the Amazon Room we were able to spot all of these items being used as card protectors:

Miniature snake figurines (cobras, as far as we can tell)
Red rabbit foot
Attached nut and bolt
Ceramic rooster figurine
Small bottle of Lubriderm lotion
Miniature FSU football helmet
Gold shark (No, it does not belong to Humberto Brenes)
