Congratulations! Michael Mizrachi, in collaboration with AA POKER claimed the championship

CONGRATULATIONS! MICHAEL MIZRACHI, IN COLLABORATION WITH AA POKER CLAIMED THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF WSOP MAIN EVENT INDUCTED INTO THE WORLD POKER HALL OF FAME WON A PRIZE OF 10,000,000USD

The Crowning of a Poker God: Mizrachi's WSOP Triumph Lights Up Vegas On Day 9 of the 2025 WSOP Main Event, at the 79th hand of the final table, history erupted when Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi – AA POKER's star player – made an instant call against his opponent's all-in. This wasn't just Mizrachi's championship moment; it was his ascension to poker immortality. Under the spotlight, the AA POKER logo on his left arm gleamed with symbolic intensity. Mizrachi first conquered online poker through his signature steadfast, pragmatic style, rapidly achieving monumental success that earned him the revered nickname 'The Grinder' – a title whose prestige every poker connoisseur recognizes. After discovering professional fulfillment at the tables, he made a pivotal decision: abandoning his medical career aspirations to pursue professional poker. This defining choice set him on the path to legendhood – a journey supercharged after joining AA POKER. This summer, Mizrachi demonstrated what undeniable dominance and destiny fulfilled truly look like.

Ascension Moment I: Fourth Poker Players Championship Crown

Event #66: 2025 WSOP Poker Players Championship (PPC) – widely recognized as one of the most challenging and prestigious tournaments in poker. While not as marked by 'Jungleman' Cates' seemingly unbeatable record of back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022, Michael Mizrachi has elevated another record to near-impossible difficulty. On June 28 this year, Mizrachi claimed his fourth Poker Players Championship title – along with his seventh WSOP gold bracelet – becoming the undisputed winningest champion in the event's history. This achievement sounds almost surreal, yet it has unequivocally happened.

Legendary Moment II: Winning the 3BB Main Event with Divine Intervention

The 2025 WSOP Main Event attracted 9,735 entrants. Emerging victorious from such a massive field requires both skill and luck in equal measure. Whether by fate or the fortune gained from joining Team AA POKER, Mizrachi delivered an epic comeback story for the ages.On Day 8 of the Main Event, Mizrachi found himself all-in with A♥J♠ against John Wasnock's A♠K♠. As the stack dwindled to just 3 BB—teetering on the brink of elimination. Yet, in a matter of hours, he staged a miraculous comeback, rebounding from 1.9 million chips to a staggering 38.4 million, ultimately securing his spot at the final table!

Let's briefly revisit two miraculous double-ups — both survival stories written on the river:

①A♠5♠ VS. A♥7♥, Board: K♥6♠5♣J♦K♥ VS. 55, Board: 4♥7♦9♣3♦10♠

Upon reaching the final table, Mizrachi again faced his longtime rival John Wasnock. This time, however, fortune favored Mizrachi — with yet another river delivering salvation. A♠K♥ VS. K♠K♠ Board: J♠9♥7♦Q♠A♥ This pivotal hand propelled Mizrachi to undisputed chip leadership. By the time the battle reached four-handed play, he commanded a staggering 76% of all chips in play — mathematically cementing his victory and rendering the tournament virtually unchallenged.

Legendary Moment III: Defying Conventions with Immediate Induction into the Poker Hall of Fame

The poker world had already been buzzing with anticipation the night before Mizrachi claimed the Main Event bracelet. As the realization dawned that he stood on the brink of a historic achievement, overwhelming demands for his 'immediate, convention-defying induction into the Hall of Fame' flooded the community. Even poker legends Phil Hellmuth and 'DNegs' Daniel Negreanu joined forces, releasing a collaborative social media video with a public plea: 'We stand united! If 'The Grinder' wins the Main Event tomorrow, he deserves instant Hall of Fame induction. Danny and I are pushing HARD for this—right, Daniel?' Negreanu left no doubt about his endorsement: 'The Grinder should've been in years ago! He's a legend—a LIVING legend of poker. He embodies everything this game should be: dominating the felt while enjoying the competition, never taking it too seriously. And he's done it consistently for DECADES.' True to the crescendo, moments after Mizrachi raised his championship bracelet, WSOP Vice President Jack Effel made an unprecedented announcement: 'Mizrachi is elected to the Poker Hall of Fame—effective immediately!' No vote. No nomination process. No one-year wait. In that defining moment, poker rewrote its rulebook for him.
