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.
Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.
On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.
PokerNews asked some players at the WSOP why they think Ivey is the G.O.A.T., and we received some interesting answers from some of the best in the game.
The 12 remaining players in Event #54 are on a one hour dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 6:45 local time.
Adam Croffut raised under the gun to 1,600,000 and Harvey Jackson defended from the big blind.
Jackson checked to Croffut on the Q♣Q♠8♦ flop and Croffut bet 800,000. Jackson raised to 2,400,000 and Croffut made the call.
The 7♣ turn saw Jackson bet out for 4,000,000 and Croffut called.
Jackson opted to check the J♦ on the river and after a few moments, Croffut moved all in for 4,200,000. Jackson didn't take long to call and was shown 8♠8♥ by Croffut for a flopped full house. Jackson turned over K♠Q♥ for trip queens as his chips were sent over to Croffut.

Stephen Dauphinais raised to 1,600,000 in late position, and then watched as Christopher Klementis moved all in for his remaining stack, which was a little more than 8,000,000.
The action folded around the table back to Dauphinais, who called to put Klementis at risk.
Christopher Klementis: A♣K♦
Stephen Dauphinais: K♠Q♥
The dealer fanned 5♠4♠7♥ on the flop, leaving Klementis ahead. But things got interesting on the turn, where 2♠ gave Dauphinais more out in the form of a flush draw.
Klementis' fate was sealed when 7♠ hit the river, completing Dauphinais’ runner-runner flush and sending Klementis to the rail in 13th place.
