Shaun Frank Deeb (born March 1, 1986) is an American professional poker player from Troy, New York.
Deeb started playing poker at age 16 in high school by hosting $20 rebuy tournaments with about 30 guests.
[12][13][14] At the 2011 World Series of Poker he paid his grandmother's, Ellen Deeb, buy-in to the main event, where she was the oldest registrant at the age of 91.
[18][19] Deeb's second-place finish was controversial because he dumped his chips to Gus Hansen so that he could be on the alternate list, which was likely to get a cash reward rather than the first place guaranteed satellite seat.
[20] During the 2015 World Series of Poker, Deeb won his first WSOP bracelet in Event #15 (the $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em Championship).
[6] Deeb's first WSOP final table occurred on the June 16–19, 2011 World Series of Poker Event #29: US$2,500 10-Game Mix / Six Handed where he finished 4th out of 431, earning US$67,146.
Deeb played the 2012 SCOOP events from Mexico due to the restrictions placed on U.S. poker players after Black Friday 2011.
