On a board of 9♦8♠10♠10♥, there were over 100,000 chips in the pot when Fernando Habegger checked, Eric Wasserson fired 65,000, and Habegger called.
A 5♠ fell on the river and again Habegger checked it over to Wasserson, who elected to check back.
"Ace-ten," announced Wasserson.
Habegger remained silent but flipped over K♣9♣9♥7♦ for a full house which won him the pot.
On the heads-up turn of 5♠4♦3♦K♦ turn, the big blind and Tom Dwan invested 43,000 each. Dwan reluctantly checked back the K♥ river after Dwan asked for the size of the pot.
The big blind tossed his cards to the muck and Dwan flashed the 6♠2♦ for a six-high straight.
On a table nearby, Eric Garma checked out of the blinds with the board showing K♦10♦2♣J♥3♥. Richard Gryko bet 250,000 and Garma reluctantly called to muck to the A♠Q♣8♣6♠ of Gryko.
Bryce Yockey raised to 50,000 from the hijack and was called by Christian Harder in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 7♣3♦10♣ flop and then Harder led out for 80,000 on the 8♥ turn. Yockey called.
The Q♥ completed the board and Harder announced, "Pot," for a bet of 284,000. Yockey tanked for a bit but eventually let his hand go and Harder was sent the pot.
Eric Wasserson opened to 40,000 and Roberto Sagra called from the hijack. Joni Jouhkimainen also came along from the small blind before Jared Bleznick shoved for 114,000 from the big blind. Wasserson, Sagra, and Jouhkimainen all called.
On the 7♥5♥K♣ flop, Jouhkimainen checked, and Wasserson bet 125,000. Both Sagra and Jouhkimainen folded.
Jared Bleznick: A♥K♦J♥2♣ 
Eric Wasserson: A♣K♠9♣7♣
Wasserson had flopped two pair which left Bleznick drawing slim, but a J♣ on the turn changed everything as Bleznick improved to a higher two pair.
The 3♦ river was a brick which meant Bleznick quadrupled up.
Level: 16
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 16,000
On a board of J♠4♠3♥8♣8♥, there were over 400,000 chips in the pot when Krasimir Yankov checked to Eelis Parssinen, who announced a bet of 280,000. Yankov mulled it over for a while but eventually tossed in the call.
"I have a pretty good hand," remarked Parssinen before he revealed Q♠8♠8♦4♦ for quads.
Yankov didn't want to let go of his hand and rechecked his cards before eventually releasing them back to the dealer.
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.
Roberto Sagra raised to 30,000 first-to-act and was called by Cesar Garcia from directly behind and Billy Tarango in the small blind.
It was checked to Garcia on the 9♥6♥Q♥ flop and he bet 30,000. Both Sagra and Tarango called.
The 7♠ fell on the turn and action again checked to Garcia, who sized up for a 90,000 bet. Sagra and Tarango both came along.
It was checked to Garcia a final time on the A♥ river and he fired 300,000 into the middle. This time, Sagra and Tarango quickly folded and Garcia collected the pot.
Tyler Stafman was all-in and at risk for 420,000 with the A♦A♥K♥Q♣ and up against the A♠K♣J♣4♠ of John Beauprez.
The J♥10♥6♦ flop gave both players straight draws but Stafman was still ahead. That didn't change with the 6♠ turn and the 5♥ river only improved Stafman to the ace-high flush.
