Reining World Series of Poker Player of the Year Shaun Deeb checked off another poker accomplishment by traveling to Europe and winning his first bracelet outside of the United States. He won the WSOP Europe’s  €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em GGMillion€ event for €329,000 and his eighth bracelet.

The victory pulled him out of a seven way tie for ninth on the list which he left with Daniel Negreanu, Billy Baxter, Brian Rast, John Hennigan, Men Nguyen, Nick Shulman, and Scott Seiver behind. He now joins Micheal Mizrachi and Benny Glaser in eighth.

A WSOP junky, Deeb cashed 28 times in 2025, and only one didn’t happen in a WSOP event — and that was in a $400 event at the Electric City Poker Series in Schenectady, N.Y. where he finished third. He won his seventh bracelet this summer in the $100,000 Pot Limit Omaha high roller in Las Vegas for a career-best $2,957,229.

It was the smallest field Deeb had to make it through to win a WSOP bracelet. The event, which took place at King’s Resort in Rozvadov, only attracted 26, and despite the 12 rebuys and the tournament’s name, the tournament missed its €1 million guarantee by €80,000. Only the final six were paid.

Brazil’s Iago Savino Peixoto won his career-best for finishing in second. Third-place finisher Zdenek Zizka was the man who got in the way of what would have been Deeb’s second bracelet at this year’s WSOP when he won a $1,000 event for $232,498.

Deeb will most likely be the front-runner for induction into the Poker Hall of Fame next year, which is the first year he is eligible since he turns 40 in March — the minimum age for nomination.
