Day 1b of the 2015 partypoker World Poker Tour UK Main Event saw 302 players pile into the Dusk Till Dawn casino in Nottingham. After 10 hour-long levels of intense poker action, that crowd of players had been whittled to a more manageable 115 with nobody bagging more chips that Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi.
With more than $14.6 million in live tournament winnings, Mizrachi easily has the most impressive resumé of any remaining player. He already has two WPT titles — having won the 2005 L.A. Poker Classic and 2006 Borgata Winter Open — and is now in good shape to add the 2015 WPT UK Main Event to complete his hat trick.
