World Series of Poker In the
2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Mizrachi tied the record of seven money finishes in a single year. In the
2008 World Series of Poker, he finished third in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship. In 2010, Mizrachi won his first
bracelet in
The Poker Players Championship, defeating
Vladimir Shchemelev heads-up and winning $1,559,046. His brother
Robert Mizrachi finished 5th in the same event. Later that year, Mizrachi also made the
November Nine in the Main Event. He would go on to finish 5th, earning $2,332,992, and was eliminated by eventual winner
Jonathan Duhamel. Despite his strong performance at the 2010 WSOP,
Frank Kassela was awarded the Player of the Year award based on the pre-existing scoring system. This was controversial because some felt that Mizrachi's year was better, which resulted in a refinement of the scoring system. Mizrachi's success in 2010 led to
ESPN poker announcer
Norman Chad labelling it "The Year of The Grinder". In 2011, Mizrachi just missed winning another WSOP title when he took 2nd in the $2,500 Omaha/Stud Eight or Better event for $158,148. At the
2011 WSOPE, Mizrachi won his second
bracelet in the €10,400 No Limit Hold'em (Split Format) by defeating
Shawn Buchanan in heads up play, earning €336,008. Mizrachi made three final tables at the
2012 World Series of Poker and won his second $50,000 Poker Players Championship title, earning $1,451,527, and becoming the event's first two-time champion in the process. The
2013 WSOP Africa saw Mizrachi win the $3,300 Main Event in a field of 116 players for his first
circuit ring earning $101,267 in the process. In 2018, Mizrachi won the Poker Players Championship for a record-setting 3rd time, earning his 4th bracelet and $1,239,126. In 2019, Mizrachi won his fifth bracelet in Event #27: Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better, besting a field of 460 players for $142,801.

During the 2025 series Mizrachi won the Poker Players Championship for a record fourth time, securing his seventh bracelet along with $1,331,322, and breaking a tie with fellow professional and three-time event winner
Brian Rast. Mizrachi won the Main Event 19 days later, earning $10,000,000 and his eighth bracelet, as well as being inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame during his bracelet presentation.
