With 14 bracelets and nearly $50 million in tournament earnings between the four of them, there's no denying that Shaun Deeb, Josh Arieh, Daniel Weinman and Matt Glantz are poker crushers. But with resumes that include a $1 million bounty pull, a body fat prop bet victory worth nearly the same amount and a win in the biggest World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in history, it's clear the group of close friends also have luck on their sides.
The four American poker players have branded themselves as "Team Lucky" — a name that Deeb may have come up with, though they aren't certain — as a way of consciously embracing and owning their good fortunes while fighting back against the jaded cynicism all to common in the poker world.
But Team Lucky is about more than once-in-a-lifetime bounty binks and turned two-outers leading to $12 million scores. As PokerNews learned during brunch with its four members, is more about friendship, camaraderie, and shared values than a good run of cards.
In the last hand before the dinner break, action folded to the button who raised to 1,800, and Jessica Teusl called from the big blind.
Players saw a 7♣5♥7♦ flop and Teusl checked. The button bet 1,800 and Teusl raised to 6,000. The button took some time, but eventually made the call.
The players were dealt the 9♥ turn and Teusl jammed for around 15,500 which sent her opponent into the tank. The button stood from the table and raised her hands to her head. After around 2 minutes, the button folded and Teusl took the pot.
The players shared some table talk and Teusl showed her opponent one card from her hand, a seven, showing she wasn't bluffing and had hit trips on the flop.
