WSOP : Event 50 : Robert Mizrachi Wins Omaha World Title

Filed under: Poker Tournaments, WSOP — webmaster @ 4:18 am

In one of the most star-studded final tables of this World Series, Robert Mizrachi outlasted poker legend Doyle Brunson, Patrik Antonius and Rene Mouritsen to secure a gold WSOP bracelet.

As the buy-ins have increased we’ve seen the entry numbers plummet and finally we are getting to see the pros playing at the final tables.

There were just 314 entrants in this field with the $10,000 buy-in obviously having an effect - and that seems to suit the pros just fine.

Poker legend Doyle Brunson finished 6th although in the middle stage of the final table he was poised to take control before twice getting the chips in ahead twice against Antonius… and Brunson took the worst of it both times. 

The final table went three handed for alomst 2 hours before Antonius moved in preflop under blinds pressure with AK82 and Mizrachi called with AA65 which was enough to win.

This gave Mizrachi a 3 to 1 advantage over Mouritsen in heads up play - and the tournament only lasted another 10 hands before the Dane capitulated.
