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.

Farhad Jamasi moved all in preflop, Neil Warren jammed for more and everyone else folded.
Farhad Jamasi: A♦9♦
Neil Warren: 8♦8♣
The dealer asked Jamasi to pick his speed as he dealt out 8♥J♣6♦ making it look like it would be a quick end for Jamasi. The K♥ turn ended any chance of runner runner flush to make the 3♠ river meaningless and Jamasi was sent away.
