The 2026 WSOP is upon us and the 50k Players Championship is the first big bracelet event to make its way into history. The Chip Reese Memorial Trophy was filled with a final table with a strong Mizrachi name to it. An event most players recognise as one of the true test of tournament poker ability.

With both Robert and Michael Mizrachi making the final table, it was no doubt difficult for Mum Mizrachi watching in the crowd as both her sons battled for one of pokers most sought after victory.

For some, many would not know how the brothers would play when involved in hands with each other. That story was put to bed as Michael was the one who ultimately ended his brothers tournament in 5th place.

Michael had been playing solid poker throughout the tournament and “The Grinder” cemented his place in history by defeating Vladimir Schmelev heads up for the title.

Final standings and payouts:
1st Michael Mizrachi – $1,559,046
2nd Vladimir Schmelev – $963,375
3rd David Oppenheim – $603,348
4th John Juanda – $436,865
5th Robert Mizrachi – $341,429
6th David Baker – $272,275
7th Daniel Alaei – $221,105
8th Mikael Thuritz – $182,463
