Michael Mizrachi Crushes PLO Event for Ninth WSOP Bracelet and $1.3 Million

The champ has done it again. Michael Mizrachi never surrendered his massive chip lead on his way to a convincing ninth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship event.

Three players returned to action at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on Monday, one with nearly all the chips, and the other two trying to mount an epic comeback. That comeback didn’t happen for Michael Hahn and Zarvan Tumboli.

Mizrachi entered play with over 80% of the chips at the table, and he left the casino with $1,350,203 while becoming just the eighth player ever to achieve the nine-bracelet milestone.

He’s Done it Again

One year after pulling off arguably the most impressive accomplishment in poker history — winning the Main Event and Poker Players Championship in the same year — “The Grinder” has won another high-stakes event at the World Series of Poker.

Mizrachi did lose part of his stack early in the Day 4 session, but never enough to give his opponents too much of a hope for winning a bracelet. Hahn was eliminated by Mizrachi in third place out of 836 entrants for $627,832. Heads-up play then began, but Tumboli trailed about 8-1 in chips.

Tumboli, despite battling the odds, didn’t back down from the world champ. He wouldn’t allow Mizrachi to claim the bracelet without a fight and quickly closed the gap significantly, trailing at one point just 2-1 in chips. But the deficit proved to be too much to overcome, thanks in part to the final hand that saw Mizrachi, a 3-1 dog when the all-in bet was made on the flop, suck out to finish off the tournament.

Mizrachi, who now has over $30 million in live tournament cashes recorded by The Hendon Mob, joins a small group of players with nine bracelets that includes Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, and four other legends. Benny Glaser, who will one day reach the Poker Hall of Fame, joined the club last week when he took down the Poker Players Championship, a tournament Mizrachi has won a record four times.

The Grinder, who received a special induction into the PHOF last summer after winning the Main Event, is putting together a strong 2026 WSOP one year after his historic run. He’s now reached two final tables and has a 16th-place finish in a separate event. Don’t count him out of winning a 10th bracelet before the series concludes.

Stay tuned for a full recap of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
