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.
Adrian Gallardo raised from the button and was three-bet by Christian Ortiz in the small blind. When it got back to Gallardo he made the call.
The flop came 9♠J♥8♠ and Ortiz bet, before being raised all in by Gallardo. Oritz made the call with his tournament life at risk.
Christian Ortiz: A♥A♣ 
Adrian Gallardo: 8♥6♠
Ortiz was ahead with his pair of aces, and when the board ran out Gallardo was not able to improve, and Ortiz secured the double up.

Life Outside Poker w/ Connor Richards is a new podcast for PokerNews that focuses on poker players with successful careers and lives outside of poker.
For the third episode, Connor spoke with high-stakes poker player, politician and entrepreneur Antanas "Tony G" Guoga. In the interview, Tony G spoke about growing up in Lithuania, founding PokerNews in the early 2000s, getting into European politics later in life and his favorite televised poker moments.
He also opened up about clashing with players like Phil Hellmuth in televised games and even issued a heads-up challenge to the Poker Brat. Will Hellmuth take him on, or is he, like Tony G said, "afraid to ever play me again?"
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Tony G by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
When action folded to Jake Schwartz on the button, he put in a raise, and was called by the big blind David Bach.
The flop came K♠J♣8♠ and Bach check-called the bet from Schwartz.
On the turn was the A♣ and after Bach checked to Schwartz, he bet. Bach then elected to raise the bet, and Schwartz made the call.
The river was the A♠ and Bach lead out for a bet. Schwartz then raised all in for 40,000 and Bach made the call.
Schwartz tabled A♥A♦ for four aces and secured the double up. Bach then showed Q♥10♥ for the Broadway straight, which had been the nuts on the turn.
