A Buck For Luck

Phil Galfond was involved in a small pot, and Kevin Boudreau came up behind him from the adjacent table. Boudreau was holding a $1 bill, and he dropped it on the ground and shuffled it under Galfond's chair with his foot. This happened right here next to our desk, and Boudreau noticed us spying on him.

"For good luck!" he said with a big smirk, hustling back to his chair just as the next hand was being dealt.

The luck can't hurt, but Galfond's been dong just fine without the lucky dollar; he's right around 600,000, though the sprawling stacks are getting awfully hard to count right now. There's a color up coming in about 45 minutes.
