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

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 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.

Martirosian check-called for 75,000 ahead of the 8 turn.

While the hand was playing out, Charles Hook, Andrew Lichtenberger and Ben Heath were in discussion. Vogelsang asked for the conversation to hush, which the trio complied with.

Action checked through, with the 4 river completing the board. Martirosian led out for 430,000, sending Vogelsang into the tank.

Vogelsang used up three time banks before flicking in a calling chip.

Martirosian tabled K9 for top pair and Vogelsang called.
