Pot-Limit Omaha Masterclass: Michael Mizrachi Collects Gold Bracelet Number Nine

Very few players in the history of tournament poker can completely switch specialties and still find themselves dominating at the highest level. Michael Mizrachi proved his legendary status remains completely intact by taking down the 2026 WSOP $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship. 

Already a member of the Poker Hall of Fame with a resume boasting over $30 million in earnings, "The Grinder" secured his ninth career gold bracelet and a massive seven-figure score.

Mizrachi’s triumph puts him in an elite class of only seven other competitors who have reached the nine-bracelet mark. The final table featured a tough mix of international players and high-stakes tournament specialists, finishing with the following prize payouts:

Mizrachi set the pace for the entire tournament, establishing a clear chip lead on the opening day of play. At the final table, Jesse Lonis briefly mounted a challenge for the top spot after winning a major pot. However, Mizrachi stopped Lonis's momentum in the biggest pot of the tournament.

Returning for Day 4 with a commanding 80% of the total chips in play against Michael Hahn and Zarvan Tumboli, Mizrachi faced a highly resilient opponent in Tumboli. The Indian player secured a double-up after hitting a turn flush against Mizrachi's two pair, and both short stacks managed additional survival doubles before Mizrachi knocked out Hahn in third place.
