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.

Federico Ottenio raised from the cutoff and was called by David Williams on the button. Jacob Nepom three-bet from the big blind and both Ottenio and Williams called.
Nepom committed his last 30,000 into the middle on the Q♣7♠5♠ flop and Ottenio completed the bet to 80,000. Williams called.
Ottenio bet on the 3♣ turn and Williams got out of the way.
Jacob Nepom: K♠J♥4♣2♦
Federico Ottenio: A♠Q♥10♠2♠
The 6♠ completed the board — improving Ottenio to the nut flush and eliminating Nepom in 11th place.
Jose Ferro doubled his short stack through Madsen in a hand of Stud Hi-Lo shortly after the hand.

Action was picked up on fifth street in a pot that had reached heads up between Patrice Boudet and Matt Vengrin.
Patrice Boudet: A♦J♦/5♣8♠7♦2♦/K♦
Matt Vengrin: A♠3♣/7♥3♠6♦2♠/10♦
Vengrin bet on fifth street and Boudet raised. Action continued until Boudet had his whole stack in the middle and Vengrin called to put him at risk.
The threes were good for high for Vengrin and the seven-six low was good for the low and Boudet exited the tournament.

Dario Sammartino raised on the button and in the small blind, Patrice Boudet three-bet which saw Sammartino call.
The flop rolled out 9♥7♥2♥ and Boudet bet and Sammartino called.
On the turn Q♣, Boudet bet all in and Sammartino called.
Patrice Boudet: A♥A♠7♦5♥
Dario Sammartino: A♦Q♦Q♥8♥
Both players flopped a flush, but it was Boudet's that was bigger and the river 6♥ kept his hand in the lead while also making a better low to double up.
