Herzog Leaves Balas with Dust

Level 31

Ante: 30,000
Bring-In: 50,000
Completion: 150,000
Limits: 150,000-300,000

Joseph Hertzog: 7?2?/3?10?7?10?/8?
Dekel Balas: XxXx/Q?K?6?3?/Xx
Nikolay Fal: XxXx/K?A?2?9?/Xx

Nikolay Fal completed and then called after Dekel Balas raised. Joseph Hertzog also came along to generate three-way action.

Balas bet on fourth and fifth streets, each time receiving a call from Fal and Hertzog.

Sixth street saw Hertzog bet out. Neither of his opponents went anywhere, instead choosing to flat.

No more money went into the middle on the river and it was Hertzog who emerged best with his two pair to scoop a massive pot, leaving Balas with just a couple of antes heading into the dinner break.

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

Sandra Barbour

Level 31

Ante: 30,000
Bring-In: 50,000
Completion: 150,000
Limits: 150,000-300,000

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.

Kemple checked over to Fal who bet and Roberts raised, folding out Kemple and Fal called.

Roberts checked on fifth street and called a bet from Fal.

On sixth street, Roberts checked and Fal bet once more, sending Roberts into the tank.

"Flush is good if you make it," Fal said.

"I don't have a flush draw," Roberts responded as he contemplated his decision. Eventually he tossed what he implied was a set of eights into the muck and Fal showed him 6?2? for a straight as he added to his lead.
