Texas Hold'em may be far and away the most popular variant of poker, but true grinders know the joy of switching it up with variants like Omaha, Stud and 2-7.
Some of poker's most decorated players have made mixed games their bread and butter. This includes Poker Hall of Famer Phil Ivey, who won three bracelets in a single summer way back in 2002, as well as Scott Seiver and Benny Glaser, who pulled off the same feat the last two summers.
From four-time $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi to back-to-back-to-back Dealers Choice Championship winner Adam Friedman, here are some of the top mixed game players to look out for at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) this summer — and you can conveniently track them using the new PokerNews MyPlayers feed.
Here are the top stacks in the Horseshoe Ballroom, according to the WSOP LIVE app.
It took some time, but the $1 million mystery bounty eventually surfaced.
Just under six hours after Day 2 of the inaugural Mini Mystery Millions got underway at the 2026 World Series of Poker, one fortunate player peeled back the tournament's most wanted prize.
It took 43 players drawing from the Gold Chest, which contained any bounty prize worth $25,000 or more, before the $1,000,000 bounty was pulled.

Pete Wigglesworth came up to PokerNews on break with a hand he'd played in Event #15: $600 Deepstack PLO, and what a hand it was.
According to Wigglesworth, he opened with A♦A♠J♠9♦ and his oppponent Miguel Torres called.
Wigglesworth flopped top set on A♥5♠3♣ and Torres check-called a bet of 4,500. The turn A♣ improved Wigglesworth to quads, and both players checked.
The 2♣ completed the board and Torres bet 10,000. Wigglesworth just called, with Torres turning over K♣Q♥5♣4♣ for a straight flush and taking down the pot.
"How did I not go broke in that hand?" Wigglesworth said. The good news is that he didn't, and he still sits with approximately 52,000 on the first break of the day.

The world of poker strategy has become increasingly solver-driven over the last decade, with players obsessing over balanced ranges, GTO outputs, and technical perfection.
But according to Nacho Cuesta, creator of Master Poker Tells, there’s still a huge part of the game many players are completely overlooking: human behavior.
Cuesta has spent the last five years building what he describes as a structured system for reading live poker tells, breaking down unconscious behaviors into categories including eye movement, betting patterns, verbal cues, and body language. In the process, he says he identified something missing from almost all traditional tells content - structure.

Colombia's Cristian Gutierrez is this event's reigning champion, having bulldozed his way through 3,109 opponents in 2025. Gutierrez banked a career-best $193,780 and his first gold bracelet for his efforts. Gutierrez only started playing Omaha 12 months before his bracelet win, and only began learning the game because he was running bad in his Hold'em games.
“I started playing Omaha last year at Borgata, and I liked it. Hold'em, I started the series playing the series, and I struggled. I started putting a lot of time into mixed games. My first ten buy-ins when I started the series here, and when I went to Golden Nugget, I lost all the flips on Hold’em. I took a break, the day before this started, I said to myself, ‘I’m playing the Omaha event. I didn’t want to just play hold'em, I needed a break. You know, sometimes you’re just running bad. I was running bad on hold'em. I started playing, and I felt confident from the first moment I sat down. I was playing great, making some moves and making some hands as well."
