Shaun Deeb on Doug Polk Podcast: I'm Going to Break Hellmuth's Record

Phil Hellmuth shipped his record-extending 16th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet this fall. Shaun Deeb won his fifth, but he will one day surpass the "Poker Brat," or so he claimed on Doug Polk's Tuesday podcast.

Deeb, who is consistently in contention for WSOP Player of the Year, has an uphill battle to achieve his lofty goal. He's already 35-years-old, but he told Polk he only plans to live until he reaches age 55.

Unbreakable Record?

In 2018, Deeb won the POY award and has won all five of his bracelets since 2015.
