ICYMI: Michael Mizrachi Wins FOURTH $50,000 Poker Players Championship

Chuck Sklar

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

“I probably played better than the last three I won. Everything went my way this tournament. I was always at the top of the leaderboard, never really got short, and probably played my best overall.”

That's what Michael Mizrachi had to say after he cruised to victory in Event #66: $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Already sharing the record for most $50,000 Poker Players Championship victories with Brian Rast, Mizrachi now stands alone after capturing his historic fourth title on Saturday at the 2025 World Series of Poker. "The Grinder" conquered the 107-entry field, earning $1,331,322 from the $5,162,750 prize pool and further cementing his legacy as the event's most dominant force.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The rest of the room had already cleared out for break while a situation had developed at Martin Kabrhel's table.

Kabrhel had 10,000 in front of him under the gun before Samuel Gagnon moved all in for 26,000 in early position. Hung Nguyen called on the button as action went back on Kabrhel.

Kabrhel believed he had been short-changed out of the pot and demanded that the floor check the cameras. Two officials came by and told him that nothing was found on surveillance, but that didn't pacify Kabrhel, was continued to yell at them to check again.

Another player eventually called the clock and Kabrhel, while still complaining, eventually called. The flop came 7♥8♥6♣ and Nguyen moved all in.

Kabrhel asked for a count, even though Nguyen had his 50,000 well-covered. "What is the point?" Nguyen asked him.

"To waste time on our break," another tablemate added. The clock was again called on Kabrhel and he soon folded.

"You got it man," Nguyen told Gagnon as the cards were revealed.

Samuel Gagnon: A♠K♦ All in
Hung Nguyen: A♥K♠

Both players turned over the same hand, while Nguyen was freerolling to a flush. The 10♠ fell on the turn to remove that possibility, while the A♦ completed the board on the river and they chopped the pot.

Kabrhel quickly stormed out of the tournament area, still fuming at the tournament officials. "That dude is crazy. I beat him in two pots. That's why he left so quickly," Nguyen said.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jun Weng opened to 2,200 and got a three-bet from Jean Kleemann in cutoff. The dealer flopped 4♥6♦Q♥.

Weng check-called Kleeman's bet of 5,000 taking them to the turn. The turn fell 6♣ and Weng checked again. Kleeman fired another 7,500. Weng checked what Kleeman had behind and called.

After a thrid check, Kleeman shoved all-in for 25,500. Weng had to mull things over, separating his chips for a call then looking at Kleeman, who remained stoic. He ultimately folded, conceding the pot to Kleeman.

Hussni Alkhuzai started the action from the button by raising to 2,100 and got a three-bet from big blind Ryuta Nakai to 8,000. Alkhuzai called.

The flop dropped 6♦10♠2♣ which both players checked. Nakai led out with a 6,000 bet on the turn K♥ sending Alkhuzai to the tank. After a few seconds, he called.

The turn was the K♠ and both players checked to the 8♥ on the river. Rose tossed in a bet of 10,000 and Carraher flicked in a chip to call. Rose flipped over 7♥6♥ for complete air while Carraher held 9♥9♦ to claim the pot.

Chin Wei Lim raised to 2,200 from early position and found calls from Joao Biancolini in middle position, Kazuya Watanabe in late position, and Brad Brown in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦J♦3♥, and it was checked to Lim, who continued for 4,000. Brown was the only caller. The turn brought the 7♥, and Brown checked to Lim, who bet 15,000 now. Brown folded, and Lim's aggression won him the pot uncontested.
