Throwback Thursday: Shaun Deeb Banned from the Rio?!

Shaun Deeb Punk'ed

Shaun Deeb is currently leading the World Series of Poker Player of the Year race. The four-time bracelet winner is looking to secure the title by the end of the World Series of Poker Europe this month. The gap between Deeb and the rest of the POY competition continues to widen. He already has one cash in the €1,650 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Deepstack event in Rozvadov.

However, there was a time where Deeb thought none of this would be possible. Back in 2009, Deeb thought he was going to be banned from all Caesar's properties for cheating at a World Series of Poker event. Watch as security escorts Deeb to the back of the Rio for adding tournament chips from his pocket to his stack.

Did Deeb do it? No! Of course not! It was all part of a PokerNews prank show hosted by Melissa Castillo. Does Deeb stay calm, cool and collected or does he flip out on the tournament director and head of security? Watch to find out!
