"The Grinder" Scoops WPT Title and $1.2 Million

Online Poker Room


Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi outlasted a field of 381 players at the Borgata in Atlantic City this week to take the Borgata Winter Poker Open. Geez, that's a convoluted title. I guess we can distinguish it as opposed to the Summer

Poker Open. Anyway, this was also a World Poker Tour stop, so you can look forward to catching it later this year on The Travel Channel. This is just another major tournament to start of 2006, so stay tuned for more results for other big events throughout February. Here's what the final table looked like including their final prize money:



1. Michael Mizrachi - $1,173,000

2. John D'Agostino - $591,000

3. Erick Lindgren - $282,000

4. Amnon Filippi - $184,000

5. Josh Spiegelman - $147,000

6. Stuart Patterson - $110,000
