"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.
