Readers Can Go to CardPlayer.com to Vote on Readers’ Choice Awards
Card Player’s Player of the Year Award, established in 1997, is the oldest and most respected tournament poker ranking system in the industry.
Mizrachi, who is sponsored by AbsolutePoker.com, dominated tournament poker in 2006, winning $2.3 million, making 11 final tables, and capturing his first World Poker Tour title.
He kicked off 2006 by making a final table at the Gold Strike World Poker Open a World Poker Tour event, then became the first player to make back to back World Poker Tour final tables after he won the Borgata Winter Poker Open.
During 2006, he cashed at 20 major events, including the final major event of the year, the Doyle Brunson North American Poker Classic, which solidified his title.
Mizrachi beat out other top players, including Nam Le, J.C. Tran, Shannon Shorr, and Jeff Madsen to win the title. Combined, these five players won more than $8.6 million in 2006.
“All of us at Card Player salute Michael Mizrachi for the talent and sportsmanship he showed during the year,” says Card Player Media Chairman Barry Shulman. “He now joins an elite list of players who hold poker’s most sought-after award."
