Mizrachi captured his seventh WSOP bracelet and $1.3 million with the victory
Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi has cemented his legacy as one of the most dominant mixed-game players in poker history by winning the $50,000 Poker Players Championship (PPC) for a record-breaking fourth time. With this victory, Mizrachi also captured his seventh World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet and a first-place prize of $1,331,322.
The PPC is widely regarded as one of the most difficult tournaments in the world, testing a player’s versatility across multiple poker variants. Mizrachi first won the event in 2010 and followed it up with victories in 2012 and 2018. Now, with this 2025 win, he stands alone as the only four-time champion of the event.
This year’s tournament drew 107 of the game’s most skilled players, with the final challenge coming in the form of high-stakes veteran Bryn Kenney. The heads-up battle saw Mizrachi leverage his experience and balanced approach to secure the title once again.
Mizrachi’s consistency and ability to perform on poker’s biggest stage have long made him a respected figure, but this win may finally push him into the conversation for poker’s highest honor—the Poker Hall of Fame. Despite never having been nominated, many in the poker world believe this latest achievement could change that, especially given his track record in an event many pros consider the unofficial second Main Event.
At 44 years old, Mizrachi continues to showcase a game that is both aggressive and adaptable—qualities that have earned him respect from both fans and fellow players alike. His fourth PPC title doesn’t just add to his personal trophy case; it marks a historic moment in poker, highlighting a career that has balanced longevity, flair, and unmatched mixed-game skill.
