Michael Mizrachi was born on January 5th, 1981 in Miami, Florida and
still resides in Florida with his wife and child. Although Mizrachi is
only 24 years old, he began playing poker at age 13 and has quickly
made a name for himself in the online and live tournament scenes. The
recent purchase of a tour bus has made it possible for Michael to keep
his family by his side while traveling between tournaments. Mizrachi is
yet another example of the breed of young poker players that are
storming the tournament world right now when the prize money is at its
best - making more money in a few victories than players from ten years
ago could have hoped for in their whole career.
Mizrachi has had
over a dozen money finishes in the past year. Mizrachi took first place
in the Five-Diamond World Poker Classic in December of 2004 collecting
roughly $273,000 in prize money. Michael has had a fantastic start in
2005 with three money finishes on the WPT including - 5th place in The
Sixth Annual Jack Binion World Poker Open Championship Event worth
$288,241, 1st place in the L.A. Poker Classic Championship event worth
$1,859,909, and 11th place in the Third Annual Five-Star World Poker
Classic 25k WPT Championship worth $94,355. Michael credits some of his
success to his online play for teaching him how to play against
different types of players - start improving your overall game, sign up
