The only sweat Shaun Deeb has left is that from his daily workouts as Matt Glantz from "TeamLucky" has been eliminated.

Daniel Neilson opened to 2 million and Matt Glantz three-bet jammed in the small blind with a stack of 22 million. Neilson called with a bigger stack.

Matt Glantz: KQ
Daniel Neilson: AQ

Glantz was dominated and incredibly did not hit the three-outer as the board ran out 44263 to mark his elimination.

Many noted that Glantz busted right as "Grim Reaper" Jeff Platt grabbed Deeb for an interview.
