He won the $50,000 Players Championship during the first week and now he has finished the summer by making the November Nine in seventh chip-position with 14,450,000. Joining Mizrachi as a headliner at the final table in November will be John Racener, who holds 19,050,000. The inclusion of the Grinder at the final table leaves the winner of the WSOP Player of the Year award in question for a few months. Mizrachi can steal the title from 2010 double-bracelet winner Frank Kassela, but only if he becomes the first professional in the post-poker boom era to claim the title of world champion. In addition to the title of world champion there is also the $8,944,138 top prize to chase after, and that will be the ultimate goal for every man listed below. We will learn the stories for each of these contenders that have stormed into the poker spotlight in the months ahead. The wait now begins for November, until then, here is the seating chart and chip counts for the final table: Seat 1: Jason Senti — 7,625,000 Player Tags: Michael Mizrachi, Jonathan Duhamel, John Racener |
