The Twitter Fight that led to the prop bet
Shaun Deeb was called out by popular YouTube Poker Vlogger Johnnie JohnnieVibes Moreno for failing to escrow $5,000 in prop bet money as promised, after the pair had clashed earlier this year over Vibes’ WSOP mark-up prices…
For those interested. @JohnnieVibes escrowed money per his deal with @shaundeeb. Nearly a month and a half later deeb has not put up any money. He then lies (implies) about busting the main. pic.twitter.com/bkRwX86qyH

Deeb and JohnnieVibes were involved in a Twitter free-for-all in April as Daniel Negreanu waded in to back the YouTube star against his old foe, and Doug Polk siding with last year’s Player of the Year Shaun -the duo becoming known as the ‘Markup Police’.

Daniel Negreanu calls Shaun Deeb: “A bully and an asshole”
This is because you are… as we have established… a bully and an asshole. You can’t just be one, you are both.
Oh, and I almost forgot, the angle shooter of your generation. The top dog when it comes to angle shooting. You win that award too.

Deeb challenges Negreanu to $500,000 Marriage Last Longer Bet
The back and forth became extremely heated, resulting in a number of insults and potential prop bets being bandied about. One of these was a $500k ‘last longer’ marriage bet that had Twitter in uproar…
You are younger which theoretically means yours should last longer, but you are for sure likely to croak way before either of us so it makes it a fair bet.

Details of the JohnnieVibes – Shaun Deeb Prop Bet
JohnnieVibes vs Deeb was the one that made it to escrow however, or so we thought at the time…
For the fans. @ShaunDeeb and I have booked a bet at EVEN MONEY. My WSOP ROI vs his across the 11 WSOP events I play. @Joeingram1 has escrowed the $10K total and we have a $5K bounty on each other. It’s going to be a great summer.

The WSOP prop bet battle would only cover the 11 events that Vibes planned to play at the Rio, Deeb’s run at Player of the Year meaning he’d be taking in part in many more than that.
Fastforward a couple of months, and Vibes sensationally came out on top, Deeb pretty much missing the money in every mutual tournament…
Just finished my last event so the results are in. I can’t confirm the exact details w/out seeing his buyin report, but my best guess is that in mutually played events I cashed for $29,132 vs Shaun’s $797. Not much more to say other than “Thank You” to those that believed in me. https://t.co/kfMF3lMUjZ

Turns out Shaun Deeb never paid the $5k prob bet money
It turns out that Shaun Deeb, though, hadn’t sent his $5k to Joe Ingram at all – something Vibes only found out when got in touch to claim his well-earned WSOP bonus…
That’s how this whole thing started. I thought he did as well so I tried to collect from escrow. Escrow wasn’t paid and come to find out the “bustout” was a troll. A real life slow roll.

…but somehow the apology ended up coming from JohnnieVibes than the legendary slow-rolling Shaun Deeb, a mix-up over Deeb’s Main Event exit part of the communication problem…
I apologize for my tweet @shaundeeb. I was upset that you didn’t honor the escrow agreement and it was compounded by thinking you faked busting out of the main event. I could have handled it better. Good luck the rest of the way (I still have no idea if you’re in the main event).

Moreno managed a day four run in the Main Event, cashing for $15,000 – his fifth in the money finish of this year’s WSOP – to take his lifetime earnings over the $100k mark.
Deeb on the other hand is still running in the $1,111 Little One for One Drop, bagging the day two chip lead as he seeks to add a fifth bracelet to his resume.
There are 412 players left from a starting field of 6246, returning today to chase the bracelet and $690,686 first prize.
