Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi outlasted the 116 top poker players who bought in for $50K to win The Pokers Players Championship in the 2010 World Series of Poker. They call it the Pokers Players Championship because it includes a variety of poker games - Seven Card Stud, Razz, 2-7 Triple Draw Low Ball, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, Pot Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Limit Hold'em and No Limit Hold'em - and certainly you have to be a poker master to play this tournament.Michael Mizrachi wins his first WSOP Bracelet, and $1.55 Million. Vladimir Schemelev of Russia was the runner-up and earned $963,375. David Oppenheim came in at third with $603,348 to his winnings. John Juanda finished fourth and earned $436,865. Robert Mizrachi, the older brother of Mike, finished at fifth and earned $341,429. David Baker finished sixth and won $272,275. Daniel Alaei finished seventh and won $221,105. Mikael Thuritz finished at eighth and won $182,463. Nick Schulman finished ninth and took home $152,730 for his efforts.
It's a great result for "The Grinder" who had the US government foreclosing his home just a week ago. It's also somewhat historical. His brother Robert has a WSOP bracelet and Michael winning one puts them in the list with Blair and Grant Hinkle, and Annie Duke and Howard Lederer as among the sibling to each win WSOP bracelets.
Incidentally, Michael busted out his brother Rob in the final table.
