With 14 bracelets and nearly $50 million in tournament earnings between the four of them, there's no denying that Shaun Deeb, Josh Arieh, Daniel Weinman and Matt Glantz are poker crushers. But with resumes that include a $1 million bounty pull, a body fat prop bet victory worth nearly the same amount and a win in the biggest World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in history, it's clear the group of close friends also have luck on their sides.
The four American poker players have branded themselves as "Team Lucky" — a name that Deeb may have come up with, though they aren't certain — as a way of consciously embracing and owning their good fortunes while fighting back against the jaded cynicism all to common in the poker world.
But Team Lucky is about more than once-in-a-lifetime bounty binks and turned two-outers leading to $12 million scores. As PokerNews learned during brunch with its four members, is more about friendship, camaraderie, and shared values than a good run of cards.

In the 839th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway is joined by Kyle Anderson and Connor Richards at Level 9 in Las Vegas and talk about latest from the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and about town, including the much-talked-about 15-way chop in the Wynn Summer Classic Ladies Event.
Speaking of ladies, one was kicked out of a WSOP tournament as seen in a viral clip circulated on social media, but Phil Hellmuth wasn't around to see it as he took a break to head north to Montana for a family wedding. However, he soon returned to Las Vegas and immediately made a run at bracelet No. 18. Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu keeps running into pocket aces!
Speaking of bracelet runs, the son of 2005 WSOP Main Event Joe Hachem nearly followed in his father's footsteps by capturing WSOP gold. While he fell one spot short, Daniel Hachem's run is still one of the most heart-warming stories of the 2024 WSOP thus far. Plus, learn about recent bracelet winners such as James Obst and Magnus Edengren, the "Studs & Duds" from the $25K Fantasy league, and remembering bracelet winner Matthew Parry, who unexpectedly passed away this week.
Finally, Chad wrote a poker history piece involving David Sklansky, who is looking to sell a pair of rare 1982 WSOP gold watches, and a look ahead to next week's $600 PokerNews Deepstacks Championship bracelet event.
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop twice weekly during the 2024 WSOP every Tuesday and Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
