Notable Information

Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi did it again. He won his fifth WSOP gold bracelet. At just 38, Mizrachi has been a staple at the WSOP for years, along with his brothers, all of whom are fierce at the tournament tables. It should be noted here that three of his four prior WSOP victories came in the $50K buy-in Poker Players Championship (2010, 2012, and 2018).

He credited a beaded necklace that he wore when winning in 2018, and he just found them again prior to Event 27 this year. “I can’t take them off!” he said afterward. He also credited his years in the game, though. “It was a tough table, but I think the experience helped me out a little bit from, you know, a lot of tournament experience.”

Mizrachi noted that his friends and family in the audience were helpful as well. “I couldn’t do it without them,” he said. “You have to have fun when you play poker.”

Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi becomes the first player to win five bracelets this decade. @TheGrinder44 wins Event #27 at the 2019 @WSOP, $1,500 7-Card Stud Hi-Lo. Mizrachi collects $142,801 and goes one up on brother Robert in the family bracelet chase. https://t.co/SyVdVyQRw1 pic.twitter.com/pDBI5MsuFw

In Event 28, it was Stephen Song going after and winning his first-ever WSOP gold bracelet. From a $1K investment, he won more than $341K to go with the gold. “It’s surreal,” he admitted. “The money’s insane. WSOP summer is where you can actually make life-changing money. It’s pretty unreal.”

Song will continue to play competitively while leaving the money to his parents. “Already, I invest most of my winnings with my parents,” he said. “My dad’s like the smartest guy I know.”

Two-time Circuit ring winner Stephen Song claims his first bracelet in Event #28 of the 2019 @WSOP, $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. @songstephen11 tops a huge 2,477-entry field to win a career-best $341,854. https://t.co/RisnCxvbPf pic.twitter.com/gdz5kF2jDK
