Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The board 2♠A♥8♠9♠6♣ was already dealt, with Allyn Shulman being the player at risk for a remaining stack around 400,000 against Elisa Nakagawa.

Shulman held 7♦7♠, which wasn't good enough to double up as Nakagawa had A♦K♠ for a pair of aces. Shulman was eliminated right before the three table redraw.

Jon Sofen

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi could be just hours away from pulling off what many will likely consider the greatest accomplishment in poker history.

"The Grinder" enters Day 5 on Saturday as the chip leader in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). He's among the seven remaining players out of the original 107 chasing the gold bracelet and the $1,331,322 first-place prize.

Mizrachi could win his seventh bracelet, something only 12 others have accomplished. But there's more at stake for the poker legend who wasn't even nominated as a Poker Hall of Fame finalist this year.
