Danny Wong moved all in for 260,000 in early position which saw Michael Rocco pot to 900,000 from the button and in the big blind, John Fauver called.

The flop rolled out 3♣6♠5♥ and Fauver moved all in immediately which Rocco called to put himself at risk for 955,000.

Danny Wong: 10♦6♦4♦3♠2♣ All in
Michael Rocco: A♣Q♥8♠4♥2♠ All in
John Fauver: A♥7♣5♦3♥2♦

The turn of 3♦ saw the full houses come home for both Wong and Fauver and Rocco stood up out of his chair as he went from beating Wong's hand and quartering Fauver's to being quartered by each one of them. The river Q♠ changed nothing and Fauver quartered Rocco in the side pot while Wong took half of the main pot and the two others chopped the side pot.

Props, Family & Fortnite: For the Four Members of Team Lucky It's About Much More Than Poker

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.

Nitesh Rawtani raised to 200,000 from middle position and received calls from Alfred Atamian and Farid Jattin in the blinds.

The 8♣4♥4♣ flop was checked to Rawtani, who made a bet of 250,000. Atamian made the call for roughly half his stack before Jattin got out of the way.

On the subsequent 7♣ turn, Atamian led all in for 285,000 and was immediately called by Rawtani.

Alfred Atamian: A♠K♦7♥7♦2♠ All in
Nitesh Rawtani: A♦A♣K♣6♠5♠

Atamian had turned a full house and nut low to take the lead against Rawtani's aces. The J♠ river did not change anything and Atamian raked in the double up.

Farid Jattin	5,250,000 -250,000	-250,000

John Fauver raised to 125,000 in middle position and was called by Farid Jattin in the cutoff and Nitesh Rawtani in the big blind. The 9♠2♦7♣ flop was checked to Jattin, who tossed in 200,000 chips and was called by both opponents.

The 5♦ turn then checked through before Rawtani led out for 700,000 on the K♥ river. Both Fauver and Jattin called and the players showed down.

"I think I'm getting quartered," Rawtani said as he tabled his A♦Q♥J♦3♣2♠ for the nut low. Jattin showed K♠Q♠Q♦J♠9♦ for top two pair, while Fauver's cards flew into the muck.

"Maybe not," Rawtani concluded as he chopped the pot with Jattin.

Farid Jattin	5,500,000 400,000	400,000

Calvin Anderson raised to 125,000 from under the gun and was called by Farid Jattin in the small blind and Danny Wong in the big blind.

The flop came out 2♥3♦3♥ and action checked around to Anderson who bet 150,000 and only Jattin called.

Both players checked the turn 9♥ to the river 5♣ where Jattin bet 165,000. Anderson raised to 575,000 and Jattin went into the tank, but eventually landed on folding.

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.
