Michael Mizrachi, known as "The Grinder," won the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event, defeating a field of 9,735 players and securing a historic $10 million first prize. His victory, achieved in a swift 80-hand final against investment banker John Wasnock, marked Mizrachi's eighth WSOP bracelet and his first Main Event title, capping a dominant summer that also included his record fourth Poker Players Championship win. The event featured the third-largest prize pool in WSOP history at $90.5 million and a notably fast final table pace, with Mizrachi capitalizing on key hands like spiking an ace on the river to seize the chip lead. Mizrachi's career earnings surpassed $29 million, the highest ever for a WSOP Main Event winner, and his exceptional performance led to an immediate and unanimous induction into the Poker Hall of Fame. The tournament also highlighted Leo Margets as the second woman to reach the WSOP Main Event final table, finishing seventh with a record $1.5 million for a female player. Mizrachi's win solidifies his legacy as one of poker's all-time greats and the first player to win both the Main Event and Poker Players Championship in the same year.
