Post mockups for fun/science? (7 Viewers)

This mockup is more for fun rather than science.
Here's the story:
We play a weekly low stakes holdem cash game that's been running for almost 20 years. One of my neighbors dropped out of the game due to work responsibilities but then he retired so he was interested in getting back in the game. I asked the host and he agreed to work my neighbor back into the game. We have a pretty LAG player and my neighbor was somewhat of a nit.
We allow that if players are heads up and they get it all in, they can agree to run the remainder of the board more than once (usually it's twice).

Only after a few weeks back in the game my neighbor finds himself heads up, all-in against the LAG. Hands were turned up and LAG flopped a straight, neighbor flopped a set. My neighbor asked the LAG if he'd run it twice (which the LAG is always happy to do) but the LAG player was losing pretty badly at this point and he'd rather bust and just re-load or double up, so he refused to run it more than once, to the complete chagrin of my neighbor.

Now nits can really sweat it, which was the case after the hands were turned up... I think he was literally shaking. Turn is a brick, River pairs the board giving Mr. Nit the full house! He was so worked up, as he was raking the chips he said "THANKS FOR RUNNING IT ONCE, THANKS FOR RUNNING IT ONCE". Yes, he said it twice. He wasn't laughing and the table fell silent. I know the guy was so worked up that he probably wasn't thinking but gee, it was only a $40 - $50 pot.

He had subsequent opportunity to apologize or say something but he didn't. Sadly, he hasn't been invited back to the game. I think the crew can tolerate sore losers more than sore winners.

I tend to find humor in things, so for your enjoyment is this tribute chip I mocked up to commemorate the event:

The hands were revealed before deciding how many times to run it? That's the big mistake, right there.

Some people play it that way. At this particular game most want to know what they're up against before deciding how many times to run it. I don't mind showing my hand at that point. When that happens it's usually the person who is ahead to make the final decision but occasionally we have had two players do it blind. If one person doesn't want to show, then the the other player is more inclined to run it once. How 2 players decide to negotiate isn't part of the House rules, it's up to them.

Bronx Tale Tribute

The white chips are great so I made variants where its a $1 with a blue alternative and a $100 with a black alternative.
It leans pretty hard into the Italian theme but in the games I play in Central Jersey these would be a huge hit.
