“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.
Reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion Jonathan Tamayo flipped his way into this year's championship event, meaning he won't even have to put up the $10,000 buy-in to defend his title.
Tamayo announced on Sunday that he won a WSOP Online $160 All-In Flipament, a flip-and-go-style event that puts players all-in blind and that needs 64 players to run, according to Kevin Mathers.
Tamayo demonstrated his luck a year ago when he navigated the largest WSOP Main Event field in history to win $10 million. The longtime poker pro from Texas proved luck is still on his side in 2025.
"I won the 3pm one it seems," Tamayo wrote on X.

Action folded to Michel Molenaar in the small blind who limped in, and the big blind Breno Drumond checked his option.
After the 7♠7♦9♥ flop, Molenaar check-called a bet of 250,000 from Drumond.
The turn was the A♠ and Molenaar again check-called a bet from Drumond, this time for 975,000.
Both players checked after the J♣ on the river. Molenaar tabled K♠6♠ for just king high, but it was good enough to scoop the pot as Drumond quickly mucked his hand.

Jaehoon Baek raised from the button to 550,000, and was called by Pawel Brzeski in the big blind.
Brzeski checked the flop of 9♥3♠7♣ before Baek opted to bet 450,000. Brzeski called to send them to a turn.
The A♠ turn was met with a check from Brzeski. Baek continued to apply pressure and bet 1,200,000 on the turn. Brzeski was undeterred and made the call.
Brzeski chose to bet on the 9♦ river to the tune of 450,000, which sent Baek into the tank. Baek pondered before he decided on a call.
Brzeski showed A♣7♥ for two pair. Baek did not show as Brzeski dragged in the healthy pot.

Preston McEwen raised from late position to 500,000, and Pawel Brzeski three-bet to 1,250,000 from the hijack. Everyone else moved out of the way, and McEwen made the call. The flop came out with 4♥10♣9♠. McEwen checked, and Brzeski put in 750,000. McEwen went into the think tank and moved all in for 3,000,000 more. Brzeski folded immediately.
