Mizrachi Involved Early
Fresh off his $50,000 Poker Players Championship win, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has been involved in the first two hands at his table.
On the first hand, Paul Phua and Mizrachi saw the flop come down 
in a blind-versus-blind confrontation. After Phua fired 30,000, Mizrachi tossed in a raise to 75,000. Phua quickly folded and Mizrachi won the pot.
On the next hand, Mizrachi was involved with Rick Salomon on the 
flop. Mizrachi checked and Salomon bet 25,000. Mizrachi put in a check-raise to 60,000 and Salomon called.
Fourth street brought the 
and Mizrachi fired 80,000, which Salomon called to see the 
pair the board on the river. Mizrachi bet 75,000 and Salomon tossed in three lavender T100,000 chips for a raise to 300,000. Mizrachi tanked, but wound up folding the 
face up and Salomon won the pot.
