$22,137 The winner of the $10,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship
was Robert Mizrachi, from Las Vegas, NV. He is a 28-year-old professional poker
player. Mizrachi is originally from Miami. This is his first victory at the
World Series of Poker. -- The Mizrachi name is well-known in tournament poker
circles. Robert's younger brother Michael "the Grinder" Mizrachi has been one
poker's most successful players over the past five years. Yet, it was the elder
brother Robert who was the first Mizrachi to win a WSOP gold bracelet. --
Mizrachi learned to play poker from his mother. He then taught his brothers how
to play the game. Mizrachi credits much of his success to diversifying as a
poker player. "There are so many great No-Limit Hold'em players," Mizrachi
said. "But if you want to be rally considered a great (player) you have to
master all forms of poker." -- Diversification has certainly worked for
Mizrachi. He already has five cashes at this year's WSOP, including three final
table appearances. A testament to his all-around talent as a player, Mizrachi
made the two previous final tables in H.O.R.S.E. - finishing 5th and 6th
respectively. With a 1st, 5th, 6th, 26th, and 40th place finishes, Mizrachi is
now in the running for 2007 WSOP "Player of the Year," currently led by
two-time winner Tom Schneider. |
