Iati Lost his Good Luck Charm

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rocco Iati raised in early position to 30,000 and the player in the small blind, Vy Nguyen, placed 100,000 chips into the middle and Iati, with his last 10,000 chips, called and announced, he couldn't "lose now that his good luck charm was here."
