[user270022]

Nível 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

One of the most dangerous all-around poker players in the world and 2014 $1,500 Dealer's Choice Champion — the first-ever Dealer's Choice event — has taken a seat.

Robert Mizrachi holds four WSOP gold bracelets, three of which have come in each of the last three years. Last year, Mizrachi captured the $10K 7-card Stud Championship for $246,662, in 2015 he won the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo for $251,022 and the aforementioned 2014 Dealer's Choice for $147,092.

Maybe even more impressive, Mizrachi almost went back-to-back in this event in 2015, falling in third place.

In total, Mizrachi has racked up 48 World Series cashes, earning $2,867,073 in the process. The former South Miami casino dealer is coming off his best year yet with nine cashes in 2016. Mizrachi was a hot commodity in WSOP drafts across the community before the series got underway.
