Unlucky Shoes

Sverre Sundbo woke up this morning wondering what to wear today. He called his girlfriend and she gave him a few suggestions. One of his choices was to wear a new pair of white sneakers.

Within the first level, he had seen his double-the-average stack reduced to less than 10,000. He called his girlfriend again and she told him to take off the sneakers as they might be bringing him bad luck. He duly did what he was told and, pot win after pot win, has seen his stack rise all the way up to 150,000.

Sverre can now be seen walking around the Amazon room in white socks which may now be dirty, but the smile on his face is clean and wide.
