Michael Mizrachi Goes Out in Style With Main Event Win, Poker Hall of Fame Induction

It didn't take long for Michael Mizrachi to claim victory in the $10,000 Main Event. The poker pro entered the final day of play with a mountain of chips and proceeded to knock out two opponents on the first two hands. Belgium’s Kenny Hallaert went out first, finishing fourth for$3 million, followed by Braxton Dunaway, of Midland, Texas, taking third for $4 million.

Mizrachi then battled John Wasnock, of North Bend, Washington, for the title with more than a 5-to-1 chip advantage. Wasnock was able to build his stack to more than 100 million at one point but ultimately was sent to the rail when his top two pair fell to Mizrachi’s turned flush. Mizrachi grabbed $10 million and the championship bracelet for the win while Wasnock scored $6 million to bring the WSOP to a close.

The entire final day lasted about an hour and the win came after Mizrachi also won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship this summer for a record fourth time.. What did it take for Mizrachi to come back from three big blinds in the Main Event at one point to winning the biggest event in poker?

“Expreience,” he told PokerGO. “I had a lot of faith. This was all meant to be. I won the Players Championship for a fourth time, now this.”

After the tournament, Mizrachi was automatically inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame and now has eight WSOP bracelets and has more than $29 million in live tournament winnings.

The win comes after Eveslage also took down the $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games for $1.2 million. With just 14 players returning on Wednesday, Eveslage was not in the top chip counts but was able to battle back early to set himself up for a deeper run.

"Four hands in I had 2.3 million (chips) after coming in with 460,000,” he said after the victory. “I just coolered everybody on my first table, so I actually had a big stack relatively quick and then ran good when the blinds got big, and that's how you win.”

I’ve had good times with friends and I thought they’ve run the events well this year. So no complaints coming into this event, even if I had bricked out, I thought it was an okay year.”
