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

Ante: 300
Low Card: 300
Completion: 1,200
Limits: 1,200-2,400

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.

Four players were in the midst of a big pot as Hal Rotholz bet on seventh street. Xixiang Luo folded his cards quickly. Arash Ghaneian and Esther Taylor both called.

Rotholz tabled kings but he was beaten for the high by Taylor who had nines up and Ghaneian had the only qualifying low to chop with Taylor to leave Rotholz empty handed.

Ghaneian gave Taylor a fist bump after the hand as he said he was more than happy to get half of that pot.
