Last year’s first-ever “Dealer’s Choice” event at the World Series of Poker saw Robert Mizrachi overcome a substantial chip deficit against eventual runner-up Aaron Schaff to capture his second gold bracelet. (Mizrachi has since won a third WSOP title this summer.) Other bracelet winners at that six-handed final table included Frank Kassella, Daniel Idema, and Bill Chen.
There were 419 players in the $1,500 buy-in event, and given all the positive feedback from players last year regarding the Dealer’s Choice, it was not at all surprising to see the event’s return to the 2015 WSOP schedule.
