In One Of The Sickest Runs In Poker History, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi Has Won The Main Event And Was Inducted Into the Poker HOF On The Spot

What a Main Event final table!!! I am stunned by what I just saw. Michael Mizrachi ran over the entire table from start to finish, taking home the $10 million first place in the most fun and dominating fashion we will ever see. After playing down to 4 people yesterday, Grinder called his shot, and he delivered with 2 minutes to spare:

This was on the heels of him bagging up 76% of the chips in play 4 handed, having 445,200,000 while the next highest was 94.5 million. 

And then today, day 2 of the Final Table, it was pedal to the metal from hand 1....and hand 2...where he made back to back eliminations. Just like that. 2 hands, 2 knock outs, to go to heads up play where after a few back and forth hands he turned a flush vs 2 pair and it was OVER!

And then, while celebrating his win, Phil Hellmuth dropped in from the clouds to tell him they are putting him in the poker Hall of Fame on the spot. Only 1 person gets in per year and this year's was already voted on, but they made a special exception for Grinder who now has 8 bracelets and probably should have been in the HoF already. It was a great idea to put him in on the spot, love that. Congrats to Mike and to the strippers at the Rhino, have a night!
