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.
Following a raise to 700 and a call by Calen McNeil, Cody Rich bumped it up to 2,100. Both John Connors and McNeil called and they checked the K♠8♣2♠ flop. Rich announced a pot-sized bet of 9,800, and that won the pot right there.
