Another round-up from the World Series of Poker this time focusing on a record-breaking third victory in the $50,000 Poker Players’ Championship by Michael ‘The Grinder’ Mizrachi.

Charles Bukowski once wrote that he had lived during an era of ‘no writers at all.’

“Nothing else appeared, o.k., it’s a bad age,” said Bukowski in the poem Voices, “I suppose I am number one. But it’s hardly the same as when we had giants turning us on. Forget it: I’m living green.”

Despite winning $17m in live tournaments, and numerous titles including four World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and two World Poker Tour (WPT) titles, Mizrachi’s style amongst the giants produces a frown or two. There’s no getting around it, Mizrachi is the bottle of brown sauce in the condiments box on the table of a cheap burger joint.
