Top Florida professional poker player Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi once again showed what a formidable opponent he is in taking down the World Series of Poker $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship this week, besting 87 talented entrants to claim the main prize of $1,239,126 and his fourth WSOP bracelet.
It was his record breaking third Poker Players Championship victory in a glittering poker career, and Mizrachi executed it with certainty, holding the chip pretty much throughout the multi-variant game competition and into the exciting heads up with fellow pro and five bracelet holder John Hennigan.
It was however a brief affair, taking Mizrachi just over 20 minutes to send Hennigan to the cashier cage and a second placing cash of $765,837
The final table included names like Dan Smith, Mike Leah, Benny Glaser and Aaron Katz, none of whom were able to stop Mizrachi remarkable run.
3rd: Dan Smith – $521,782
4th: Mike Leah – $364,197
5th: Benny Glaser – $260,578
6th: Aaron Katz – $191,234
