Long time poker pro Shaun Deeb has been crowned the Poker Player of the Year, two months before the conclusion of 2018.
Among his accomplishments:
He had over a dozen cashes at this year's World Series of Poker.
He earned two bracelets in this year's WSOP.
One of those wins yielded $1.4 million: The $ 25,000 Pot Limit Omaha - High Roller (Event #42).
And he continues rolling at this week’s World Series of Poker Europe with four cashes thus far and a 2nd place finish in the € 1,500 + 150 Pot Limit Omaha / No Limit Hold'em Mixed (Event #6).
The Troy, New York resident, who has won over $6 million in live career tournaments, had a set goal all along to win the Player of the Year heading into the World Series of Poker Europe.
“If it was strictly about money, I would never bother going there, but I really want to win POY, and this is the best shot I’ve had at doing it.”
Deeb's first cash out in a live tournament was in 2006.
