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.

Phil Hellmuth raised from the cutoff and Joshua Adcock defended his big blind. Adcock check-folded to a bet on the 10♦3♠3♠ flop.
The hand after, Adcock limped in from the small blind and Hellmuth checked his option. Hellmuth called a bet on the 10♥7♣4♦ flop before folding to a big bet on the 7♦ turn.
A few hands later, Hellmuth was back in the big blind and he defended after Dylan Lambe raised in the cutoff. The A♥8♦6♦ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn and Hellmuth took the pot after he folded out Lambe with a bet.
On the next deal, Hellmuth limped in from the small blind and Lambe checked his option in the big blind.
The K♣9♥4♥ flop checked through to the 7♠ turn. Hellmuth bet and was called. The 7♣ river completed the board and Lambe folded again after Hellmuth fired out a second barrel.

Earlier this year on an ordinary Monday afternoon, a bespectacled man walked into the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Blvd. Tucked under his arm was an uninteresting box that only he knew contained something rather interesting – a pair of gold watches dating back more than 40 years.
These were not your run-of-the-mill wristwear, but rather evidence of a unique and often overlooked time of poker history, a year when the World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet, now the game’s highest accolade, was replaced in favor of watches.
The man holding the box was David Sklansky, who in 1978 forever changed poker by advocating a mathematical approach to the game in his groundbreaking book The Theory of Poker. Nicknamed “The Mathematician,” he proved his prowess just four years later when he won two WSOP tournaments in five days.
First, he won the 1982 WSOP Event #7: $800 Mixed Doubles Limit Seven Card Stud, a tournament that paired one man with one woman, alongside Dani Kelly, and followed that up by taking down Event #12: $1,000 Limit 5-Card Draw High. A year later, the Binions reverted back to the beloved bracelets players know today, and Sklansky captured his third piece of WSOP hardware by winning Event #11: $1,000 Limit Omaha.
It was a remarkable accomplishment, and for more than four decades he’s kept safe the evidence of his victories, both of which still worked. So, why was Sklansky carrying his 1982 WSOP gold watches, two of only 15 ever awarded, into a pawn shop? Well, he was looking to sell them of course, but not to just any of the dozens of pawn shops spread across Las Vegas. Oh no, he was walking into arguably the most famous pawn shop in the world, the home to the wildly popular television show Pawn Stars, and he was there to do it with cameras rolling.

Big O
Stephen Hubbard raised the pot or 210,000 pre-flop and Markus Edengren called. The last 180,000 of Hubbard's chips went in on the 3♣3♠2♦ flop.
Stephen Hubbard: A♦A♠Q♠Q♣4♣ 
Markus Edengren: A♣J♦7♥5♣3♦
Edengren had flopped trips, with both players holding wheel draws. The turn J♥ improved Edengren to a full house but the river Q♥ gave Hubbard a better full house and he doubled up. There was no low.

Big O
Dylan Lambe raised to 120,000 on the button and was called by Tim Seidensticker in the small blind and Joshua Adcock in the big blind.
The flop rolled out J♣5♣6♦ and action checked around to the 10♦ turn where action checked around to Lambe who bet 200,000, getting calls from both players.
Seidensticker bet 1,100,000 on the river 8♥ and Adcock responded by moving all in which sent Lambe into the tank. After some thought he tossed his hand into the muck and Seidensticker called.
Tim Seidensticker: A♠10♣9♠8♣2♠
Joshua Adcock: A♣9♣7♠5♦4♣
Adcock had rivered a straight and Seidensticker had rivered the nut-low leaving the players to chop up this massive pot.
