While we were waiting for the ESPN cameras to set up their shots, Kluchman took a small plastic rooster (that he uses as a card protector) and placed it next to his cards.
The dealer finally rapped the table, and spread 
, giving Kluchman the lead. The 
on the turn gave Thomas four extra outs to catch up, but the 
bricked on the river, doubling Kluchman to over a million chips.
"How much for this?" Tristan Clemencon asked Kluchman, pointing to the plastic bird.
Kluchman laughed as he stacked his newfound chips.
