Badugi

Alan Myerson raised his button and Clifford Ziff called in the small blind. They each took one card on the first draw, after which Ziff check-called a bet.

Ziff drew one again, while his opponent remained pat. After another bet from Myerson, Ziff folded, leaving himself with two big bets.

The next hand, Ziff raised on the button and Shaun deeb defended the big blind. Deeb drew two and Ziff exchanged one card. Deeb then check-called a bet and the players drew the same number of cards.

Ziff tossed in his final chips after the second draw, and Deeb looked him up. Deeb still needed two as Ziff kept drawing one card.

Clifford Ziff: 9♣3♦2♠ All in
Shaun Deeb: 3♣A♠

Ziff's last card was the 4♥, making him a nine-badugi. Deeb caught well, but his 9♥6♦ made him a worse nine-badugi as ZIff stayed alive.

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.
