Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

There’s no denying that Shaun Deeb is a future Poker Hall of Famer. Whether you know him from his online poker days, where he won more than a dozen COOP titles on PokerStars, or as the 2018 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Player of the Year, Deeb has amassed nearly $13 million in live tournament earnings dating back to 2006 according to The Hendon Mob.

Deeb, who in February 2024 accepted a buyout in his $1 million body fat loss prop bet against Bill Perkins, is also a six-time WSOP gold bracelet winner, but did you know that just like Phil Hellmuth, he’s made a habit of gifting them to those close to him?

PokerNews recently chatted with Deeb about why he gives away his bracelets, which ones he’d keep if he were to win them, and why giving away No. 6 to honor his good friend, the late Thayer Rasmussen, meant so much to him.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Catching the action on a Q♠A♥4♥6♣ board, Martin Kabrhel fired out a bet of 50,000, after Kevin Kent had checked.

A flush completing board did nothing to slow him down, betting 81,000 when checked to.

Kent was curious but still chose to fold. Kabrhel showed him the 6♦ and said, "I never bluff".

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Laurent Viadere moved all in for his last 37,000 from early position, and Jake Daniels quickly followed up with an isolation raise to 95,000 from middle position. The rest of the table got out of the way, leaving the action heads-up.

Laurent Viadere: A♥4♦ All in
Jake Daniels: 10♦10♠

The runout was 2♦J♥7♣Q♦A♠ and Viadere stayed alive with his pair of aces.
