Props, Family & Fortnite: For the Four Members of Team Lucky It's About Much More Than Poker

Team Lucky

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.

Carl Shaw: A?K?

The A?K?10? flop gave Shaw top two pair and the British rail roared. The 5? turn was safe for Shaw and the 7? on the river as well, making Stankov the ninth-place finisher.
