Valentin and his amazing HBC coat

I said to Valentin that I was jealous of his coat and that I wanted it. He told me
he won the coat a few days ago on a bet. The bet was - to beat his buddy 10 STRAIGHT games of pool in a row
and he gets the coat!
And I'm thinking - how in the hell did his buddy find a coat like this in the first place.
