Translated from Japanese by Grok:
WSOP Event #90: $777 Lucky 7's No-Limit Hold'em - Flight C
This is probably gonna be my last WSOP tournament, bankroll-wise.
I’ll give it my all!
“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 reigning champion is American Michael Liang, who emerged victorious in 2024 after recovering from an astonishing 9:1 chip deficit in heads-up play. Liang navigated through an enormous field of 6,292 runners on his path to capture a majority of the $4,303,728 prize pool.
PokerNews caught up with Liang after the win to ask him how he was feeling after winning his first piece of gold. "It feels amazing. I've had a few close calls in the past. I've had a second place, a third place, and a fifth place, so it feels good to finally break through."
When asked what the bracelet means to him, Liang explained, "It means a lot. It's one of those things that you dream about when you first start playing poker, and then coming so close in the past and not achieving it, it kind of makes you wonder if it's ever going to happen."
| Year | Entries | Winner | Country | Payout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 6,292 | Michael Liang | United States | $777,777 |
| 2023 | 7,323 | Shawn Daniels | United States | $777,777 |
| 2022 | 6,903 | Gregory Teboul | France | $777,777 |
