Soul Read from "Hollywood" Stann

Brett Slezak

Level 5

A player with a 4x completed, a 5x called, and Dave "Hollywood" Stann announced, "Tilt raise!" as he made it 1,200 to go. Both players called.

Opponent 1: 8x2x / 4xAxAx2x / 8x
Opponent 2: XxXx / 5x3x - folded on fourth street
Dave Stann: Ax3x / 5xKx9xJx / 7x

Stann called a bet on fourth street. He then check-called on fifth and sixth.

Down and dirty on seventh street, Stann checked in the dark, his opponent bet in the dark, and Stann called in the dark. His opponent revealed his hand for three pair while Stann made an impressive call-down with what ended up being 9-7-5-3-A.

"You're too confident!" explained Stann as he reasoned through his thought process during the hand.

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

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sandra Barbour

Level 5

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.
