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

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Team Lucky
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.

Badziakouski Makes Frustrated Fold

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andy Wilson opened to 80,000 from early position before Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 240,000 on the button. Action folded back around to Wilson who moved all in. That did not sit well with Badziakouski, the effective stack.

After shaking his head a few times and a quick re-peek at his hole cards, Badziakouski mucked to put a dent in his stack.

Blom Amps Up the Pressure

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artur Martirosian opened to 90,000 from middle position only to see Viktor Blom three-bet to 365,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Martirosian who called.

The flop came 37Q and Martirosian checked to Blom. He continued for 140,000, receiving a call from Martirosian.

Wasserson's Aces Crumble to Mateos' Queens

Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Eric Wasserson
Eric Wasserson

Eric Wasserson raised to 80,000 from middle position and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 240,000 out of the hijack. When the action got back to Wasserson, he shoved all in for around 1,700,000, and Mateos made the call.

The two players seemed to know what each other had, and while the dealer was waiting for the go-ahead to run the board, Wasserson pushed all of his stack next to that of Mateos'.

"I know it's coming. I'm running so good," remarked Mateos.

Eric Wasserson: AA All in
Adrian Mateos: QQ

A flop of 9KK didn't change anything but Mateos' words came true as the Q landed on the turn, which improved him to a full house.

Wasserson needed an ace or a king on the river to stay alive but the J wasn't what he was looking for, which meant he was eliminated in 29th place.
