Bad Karma!!

Phil Laak walked past the pile of cash and, being Phil Laak, picked up three of the bundles and started juggling them as camera shutters clattered away. Mike Sexton said, "I can do that too," but tournament officials came by to politely discourage using the prize money as props.

Kathy Liebert walked past and gingerly touched a few of the bricks, leading to a question--isn't it bad luck to touch the cash (or, heaven forbid, the bracelet) before play begins? Not sure about the karmic rules about touching money before you've won it, but we'll see how this affects Laak's, Sexton's and Liebert's fortunes today.
