ChatGPT a dit : Only four players remain. And one man is steamrolling everything in his path. The 2025 Main Event may be on the verge of crowning one of the greatest careers in the history of poker.

Three words. Three facts. Three thunderclaps: Michael Mizrachi had just two and a half big blinds 48 hours ago. Today, he holds over 75% of the chips in play. The 10th WSOP bracelet is within reach.

 

A tidal wave called "The Grinder"

 

 

They call him “The Grinder” and for good reason. Michael Mizrachi is currently achieving what many are already calling the greatest feat in modern live poker. Down to 2.5 big blinds in the semifinals, he’s now entering the final day of the Main Event with a staggering stack of 445.5 million – 178 big blinds out of the 234 in play.

After winning his fourth $50,000 Poker Players Championship this June (a record), Mizrachi reached the WSOP Main Event final table for the second time, fourteen years after finishing 5th in 2010. This time, he’s the heavy favorite. “I feel great, but I’ll feel even better when I have 100% of the chips,” he smiled last night.

Everything flipped on a stunning setup: AK for Mizrachi versus KK for John Wasnock — an ace on the river flipped the script, sending the three-time PPC winner into chip dominance. The room erupted. The momentum was launched. Mizrachi never looked back.

Around him, the battlefield cleared quickly. South Korea’s Daehyung Lee fell on the very first hand. Jarod Minghini (8th), Leo Margets (7th), and Adam Hendrix (6th) followed shortly after. Mizrachi, meanwhile, hit everything: three winning barrels versus Kenny Hallaert, perfect pairs, flawless timing. Nothing seems to stop him.

In the stands, chants of “We will rock you” echo in support. And on the felt, that’s exactly what he’s doing: Mizrachi is steamrolling the opposition. Luka Bojovic (5th) tried to double up with AK against AJ but was eliminated by a deadly river. The Serbian grinder left the arena $2.4 million richer.

Behind Mizrachi, three players remain: John Wasnock (94.5M), Braxton Dunaway (25.5M), and Kenny Hallaert (19M). The gap is enormous. Hallaert, a 2016 finalist, still dreams of a miracle. Wasnock, 50, a discreet investor, is playing only his second Main Event. Dunaway, the last outsider, will need to double quickly.

But they all know: July 16, 2025, could well become Michael Mizrachi’s day. The day he conquers the Main Event. The 8th bracelet. And poker history with a capital H.
