2025 World Series of Poker
“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.

The remaining 311 players take a short 15-minute break. During this time, the 500-denomination chip will be removed.
Oleg Vasylchenko opened to 8,000 in the hijack, and got called by Jeremie Dray on the button and Gheorghe Podovei in the big blind. The flop revealed A♥2♣7♠.
Podovei check-called the bet of 8,000 from Vasylchenko, but Dray decided to call. Both players saw the turn J♣ and checked to the river Q♣.
The two players checked again. As soon as Vasylchenko flipped his cards 10♣10♥, Dray tossed his cards away. All the chips in the middle of the table moved towards Vasylchenko.
Players were already on the river, with Rittie Chuaprasert sitting under the gun and Shaun Deeb in the hijack.
The players were looking at the A♥9♥7♠10♠Q♣ board and the pot stood at around 70,000.
Chuaprasert had bet 25,000 and Deeb had raised to 100,000.
Chuaprasert went into the tank and took a couple of minutes to make the call.
Deeb said "Set,” before showing 10♥10♦ and Chuaprasert mucked.

Both players checked to see the 9♣ river card. Hu decided to check, but Young bet 21,000. It took a bit of time before Hu folded.
Young took all the chips from the middle of the table.
