PokerNews Podcast Special: Shaun Deeb Talks $800K Body Fat Prop Buyout & 2024 WSOP Schedule

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

On this special episode of the PokerNews Podcast sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway goes one-on-one with Shaun Deeb, who accepted a $800,000 buyout in his $1 million body fat prop bet against Bill Perkins.

Nearly 11 months ago, the poker players agreed to a 14-month wager on Deeb's ability to bring his body fat composition down significantly. The bet had essentially no stipulations — either get to 17% body fat by the start of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), or lose $100,000.

Last month, Deeb gave his X followers an update on his progress, and it was certainly positive in his favor. A January 25 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan showed his body fat had dropped to 23.9% with still four months to go. That caused Perkins to begin proposing potential buyout possibilities on X, although nothing had been officially agreed upon.

Shaun Deeb Accepts Buyout in $1 Million Body Fat Loss Prop Bet

On Friday, he went in for another DEXA scan, and he was in even better shape — 22.0% body fat composition. Then, on Saturday, the future Poker Hall of Famer informed his social media followers that Perkins had bought out of the bet for $800,000 just over three months from the start of the 2024 WSOP.

Deeb shared all the details of his journey, why he opted to accept the buyout, and where he plans to go from here. Plus, hear his thoughts on the 2024 WSOP schedule.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Lorenzo Arduini raised to 300,000 in middle position with A♦10♣ and Ami Barer called with Q♠Q♦ in the hijack. David Kaufmann also came along in the big blind holding 6♠5♠.

The flop came 2♥J♣K♥ and Arduini continued for 275,000. Barer called, while Kaufmann got out of the way.

Both players checked the 7♠ turn and the 4♠ fell on the river. Arduini checked again, then folded when Barer bet 625,000.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

David Kaufmann limped in from the small blind with 5♦2♠ and Aleksejs Ponakovs checked his K♠4♥ in the big blind.

Kaufmann then checked on the 9♣A♥K♣ flop and Ponakovs checked back. The Q♦ turn was also checked by both players before Kaufmann fired 300,000 on the J♠ river.

Ponakovs made a quick call with his second pair and won the pot when the players showed down.

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 300,000 on the button with 5♦5♣ and Barny Boatman made the call in the big blind with A♥2♠.

Boatman then check-called Ponakov's 150,000 bet on the 4♠8♠J♠ flop before the 7♦ was turned.

Boatman decided to lead out for 300,000, which resulted in the end of the hand as Ponakovs quickly mucked his pocket pair.

Eric Afriat picked up J♥J♦ in the hijack and moved all in for 1,425,000. The rest of the table folded and Afriat took the blinds and ante.

A few hands later, Afriat looked down at K♠K♦ and moved all in again, this time for 1,825,000 in early position. His opponents again quickly folded and Afriat won the minimum with his pair.

"I'll give you guys a break for a while," Afriat said.

Barer Folds Top Set, Extends Kaufmann's Lead

David Kaufmann looked down at 10♥10♣ in middle position and raised it up to 300,000. Peter Jorgne called in the cutoff with 7♥7♦ and the action folded to Ami Barer in the big blind, who was sitting with J♠J♥.

After thinking for a while, he tossed in a call and a flop of J♦10♦2♠ was dealt. Barer checked his top set before Kaufmann bet out 300,000 with his middle set. Jorgne called with his sevens, but Barer bumped up the price to 1,400,000.

Kaufmann put in the extra chips, while Jorgne quickly got out of the way. The 6♥ turn rolled off and Barer used one time bank card before firing 2,675,000 in the middle, about half his remaining stack. Kaufmann just called and the 3♦ river completed the board.

Barer slowed down and checked the flush-completing card, but Kaufmann pushed enough chips in the middle to put Barer all-in for his final 2,780,000. Barer took a long time but eventually convinced himself to fold the better hand and conceded the pot to Kaufmann.

David Kaufmann raised to 300,000 in early position with Q♦8♦, Owen Dodd called with A♥K♠ in the small blind, and Eric Afriat defended 10♥8♥.

The K♣2♦J♦ flop was checked through and the 6♥ fell on the turn. Afriat then bet 500,000 and Kaufmann called with a flush draw.

Dodd, sitting on top pair, used a time bank before moving all in for 2,400,000. "Can I take these back?" Afriat joked with the dealer about his bet as he folded, while Kaufmann also quickly folded.

It folded to Sindre Hansen in the small blind, who jammed all in for 875,000 chips. David Kaufmann sat in the big blind and flicked in the call.

Sindre Hansen: 10♣9♣
David Kaufmann: Q♣2♣

The 6♠J♣A♥ flop hit neither player, but the 8♠ turn gave Hansen a straight draw. It came in on the Q♥ river and he stood up to celebrate his double-up with his rail.
