Find Out Why Shaun Deeb Gives Away All of His WSOP Gold Bracelets

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 13

Blinds: 3,000-6,000
Limits: 6,000-12,000

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.

The river completed with the 2♠ and Zhu check-called again. Negreanu tabled K♣10♦ for two pair and Zhu showed A♣4♦ in defeat.
