Very few in the poker world have the hustle during the World Series of Poker (WSOP) that Shaun Deeb has, which is why Deeb is the latest PokerNews WSOP Player of the Week.
At the halfway point in the series, Deeb has cashed 11 events for a total of $311,064 in earnings. Three of those cashes have been from deep runs in $10,000 buy-in championship events in just the past seven days.
There are now 59 players registered for the event, which is just four entries shy of the total entries in the 2021 edition. If this trend continues, the attendance will very likely be far bigger and cement the growth of nearly all mixed games during the 2022 WSOP.
