Marvin "The Duck Man 22" Karlins, who's known for making a duck call whenever he plays pocket deuces, was spotted after making a duck call that was heard across the room.

According to the players at Karlins' table, a player in early position raised to 500, and action was on Karlins.

Karlins re-raised to 2,000, and his opponent tanked briefly before mucking his hand, leaving Karlins to scoop the pot.

Karlins then showed {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for the pocket "ducks" and made his signature duck call.
