Michael
Mizrachi is Unlikely Cinderella Story at World Series
of Poker
The World Series of Poker is known for Cinderella stories,
rags-to-riches tales of unknowns becoming millionaires
with the turn of a card. And not surprisingly, this
year's WSOP, whose seven-week Las Vegas summer run
ended in mid-July, features its own Cinderella Man
- with a curious wrinkle. This time, the magic didn't
happen for some anonymous Joe, but rather for a fairly
well-known poker pro. Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi,
who was named player of the year in 2006 by one poker
publication and once won more than $3.5 million in
a 12-month stretch, has been battered financially by
the real estate bust and faced an IRS tax lien just
as this year's WSOP opened in May ...
When you've just been handed a check for $396,000 --
you could have had a duffel bag full of cash, but
you opted for the check -- and yet you still need
to blow off steam, who are you going to call? "There's
not a lot of people you can phone and say, ‘I
just won 400 grand and I'm angry'," Ben Statz was
saying last week. "So I called Annie." That would
be Annie
Duke, the poker legend, and not only
does she understand the vagaries of the game, she
was partly responsible for Statz, a 1995 Madison
East High School graduate, playing in the 2010 World
Series of Poker in the first place ...

There
is no one in the poker world quite like Sammy Farha. Dashing
and debonair, Farha is part James Bond, part Humphrey Bogart,
part Hugh Hefner, all wrapped up into a five-foot-nine dynamo
of a man with an unrelenting passion for fast living and high-stakes
gambling. Farha initially burst upon the poker scene a decade
ago when he won a gold bracelet in the Pot-Limit Omaha championship
at the 1996 World Series of Poker. But it wasn't until his
alluring television appearance on ESPN in the 2003 Main Event
championship that Sammy Farha became a household name. Indeed,
if the World Series was all about style, then Farha would have
been its grand champion a long time ago. Farha blitzed through
837 players that fateful year. All that stood in the way of
Farha and a $2.5 million cash prize was a previously-unknown
accountant from Tennessee named Chris Moneymaker

Harold
Angle was the winner of the $1,000 buy-in Seniors No-Limit
Hold'em World Championship at the 2010 World Series of
Poker. This marked his first career WSOP gold bracelet victory.
Angle won the biggest seniors poker event ever on record, as
he came out on top of a field numbering 3,142 entries. No senior's-related
poker tournament has ever broken the 3,000-player mark prior
to this monster-sized attraction. In fact, this year's record
turnout eclipsed the previous 2009 record mark by 16 percent.
The prize pool amounting to $2,827,800 was also a record.
Angle is a 78-year-old retiree from Sun City, FL. He formally
worked in sales for a major shoe manufacturer. He was the eldest
of nine players at the final table. In fact, some of the players
who were in their 50s were "young" enough to be Angle's children

Day
4 of the World Series of Poker has now drawn to the close. 789
players remained in the tournament at the start of Day 4. By
the time that play wrapped for the day, the money bubble had
burst and only 407 players remained. After four full days of
play, Ludovic Lacay is the tournament chip leader with approximately
1.6 million in chips. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, who finished
as the Day 3 chip leader, has a very respectable 1.25 million
in chips. Unfortunately for the other 406 players who are still
alive in the main event, Phil Ivey also has a very healthy stack
heading into Day 5, and has to be considered the favorite to
win the entire event at this stage ...
