Las Vegas, Nevada (June 29, 2026) - After an improbable performance during the 2025 World Series of Poker, one of the most well-known poker players alive is once again at the top of the podium at the WSOP.
Displaying one of the greatest series performances ever seen at the WSOP, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi won the two hardest tournaments a poker player can win, the $50,000 Poker Players Championship and the $10,000 No-Limit Hold 'em Hold’em WSOP Main Event, in the same WSOP series.
Clearly, Mizrachi is no stranger to impressive feats at the WSOP, and today was no different during Day 35 of the 2026 WSOP.
Leveraging the massive chip lead he secured midway through the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship event at the 2026 WSOP, Mizrachi took down the 70th WSOP bracelet event of the series to secure his ninth WSOP title.
Always followed by a boisterous and supportive rail, the atmosphere at the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship was reminiscent of the 2025 WSOP Main Event final table, which saw Mizrachi win the biggest title a poker player can win, along with the $10 million top prize.
Continuing to add to his legacy as one of the greatest poker players to ever participate at the WSOP, The Grinder further added to his accolades today at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Coming into the final day of play with 80 percent of the tournament chips, Mizrachi was well-positioned to take home his ninth WSOP bracelet along with the $1,350,203 first-place prize.
While only two opponents remained, Michael Hahn and India’s Zarvan Tumboli, even with the vast majority of chips in play, every poker player knows nothing is guaranteed on the felt.
Despite setting the tone early and winning a few small pots early in the day, Mizrachi would face a setback when Tumboli doubled through him after rivering a flush.
Overcoming the hurdle, the appropriately named “Grinder” grinded his way back, slowly and methodically winning small pots as Hahn’s and Tumboli’s stacks dwindled.
After a period of three-handed play, with the shortest stack, Hahn had to eventually pick his spot. Bullied into an all-in from The Grinder, Hahn could not catch up to the two jacks Mizrachi held in his hand, and was eliminated in third place.
With a sizeable chip lead and plenty of momentum on his side, with more than four times the chip stack as Zarvan Tumboli, it seemed it wasn’t a question of if, but when Mizrachi would take down the Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
Although Tumboli would put up a fight, his opponent’s chip lead paired with his experience would prove too much. Starting the final hand of the tournament with a pair of aces in his hand, a straight on the river would end Tumboli’s journey and award Mizrachi with his ninth WSOP bracelet.

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi
The Growing Legend of The Grinder
As poker fans know, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi is no stranger to success at the WSOP. Even with his ninth WSOP bracelet win in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, his recent victory is only another chapter written across years of historic success at the WSOP.
While a successful professional poker player for years, Mizrachi’s first WSOP bracelet victory came during the 2010 WSOP, where he won his first Poker Players Championship. That same year, Mizrachi would also reach the WSOP Main Event final table. Although he would not win the 2010 WSOP Main Event and finished in fifth, his 2010 WSOP campaign would be a teaser for what was yet to come later in his career.
Mizrachi may be mostly known for his victory in the 2025 WSOP Main Event, but poker fans and fellow grinders know he has mostly etched his name in poker history through the yearly Poker Players Championship.
Out of his now nine WSOP bracelets, four of them have come from victories in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, regarded by many as the hardest poker tournament to win due to the high stakes and required mastery of multiple poker variations.
No poker player other than Mizrachi has won the Poker Players Championship four times, with his most recent victory in 2025 becoming even more legendary for what he would do after.
One of the greatest accomplishments in poker history, 18 days after winning the Poker Players Championship, Mizrachi would also win the 2025 WSOP Main Event, an achievement that led to his snap induction into the Poker Hall of Fame.
