If Michael Mizrachi happens to win the main event would you consider him the best tournament holdem player? He will have a main event title under his belt, numerous wpt events, and a bunch of other random holdem events under his belt.

He would also vault to 18 million with a main event win with next closest being.....

Phil Ivey at 12.1 million

Phil Hellmuth.

Stu Ungar

Jamie Gold was the All time donkament money leader for a couple years wasn't he?

he is a sick good tourney player.. kinda bout it

no.

Yup, he crushed tourneys 2007-2009. *cough*

I give Michael a lot of credit, he's good in the cash game, online and in tournaments, but the number 1 is still Phil Hellmuth.

If grinder can stay away from the pits, he would be good, he is horrible at managing money, but his results all ready are crazy

He is right up there in the discussion. Why doesn't he have a big time sponsorship yet? He is one of the most marketable players in the game. He's cool, witty, and good looking. He has mass appeal across all demographics.

For me personally, he has been a huge inspiration. 6 months ago I was 4-tabling high stakes play money SNGs ~80 hrs a week. There are many times that I wanted to quit but then I just thought of The Grinder, his struggles, and how I too wanted to be known as a true grinder. Since then I have moved up in level and am making good money at 5NL.

Maybe, but the Mizrachi's are definitely the best family right?

LOL @ this thread.

it should be "Is Michael Mizrachi in the best 1000 best tournament holdem players"

booooring

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ivey imo
