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.

Brett Shaffer raised to 165,000 from middle position. Ryan Leng called. Mordechai Hazan raised all in for 290,000 on the button, Michael Banayan called and Shaffer folded. Ryan Leng re-shoved all in for 1,500,000 and Banayan folded. There were two players heading to the flop with one player at risk for his tournament life.
Mordechai Hazan: K♣Q♣
Ryan Leng: 6♠6♦
Hazan flopped two pair on Q♠4♠K♦ taking a commanding lead before the turn.
As the 3♠ hit the felt, Leng picked up a flush draw on the turn looking for any spade that wasn't a king.
Conclusively, the river card 10♣ came and Hazan doubled up shortly before the dinner break.

Wang Lee and Theo Jorgensen got all in preflop with Kade Douglas
Wang Lee: A♦A♥
Theo Jorgensen: A♠A♣
Kade Douglas: Q♦Q♣
With those holdings, there was little doubt all the chips were going into the pot. The resulting flop 7♠Q♠3♦ gave Douglas a set of queens, leaving Lee drawing dead and Jorgensen needing running spades to win the hand.
When the 10♣ turned it was over. The river 5♠ mattered not.
