Shaun Deeb Denied By Quads Again in Heads-Up for WSOP Bracelet
Shaun Deeb came agonizingly close to winning his ninth World Series of Poker bracelet for the second time at the 2026 World Series of Poker Europe, but once again saw his bid denied.
For the second time in less than a week, the final hand of heads-up ended with his opponent making quads, as France's Gilles Silbernagel captured the €565 COLOSSUS title for €165,000 at King’s Casino inside Hilton Prague.
Silbernagel defeated Deeb in the final duel to secure the biggest win of his career since 2018, denying the two-time WSOP Player of the Year yet another shot at history. Deeb had previously fallen short in the €3,300 PLO Mixed, where he also lost the final hand of heads-up to quads and collected €81,784.
Had Deeb closed it out, he would have become the fastest player to reach nine bracelets, a record currently held by Phil Ivey.
