The $50,000 buy-in World Series of Poker Player Championship isn’t your average tournament. Appart from its enormous buy-in, the event includes a mix of 8 poker games: Limit Hold’em, Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, Seven Card Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split-8 or Better, No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. Only a few of the world’s elite can master these games, meaning that nothing but the cream of the crop is expected to play in the event.

The Grinder, Michael Mizrachi, is the only player to win this tournament on two different occasions, in 2010 and again in 2012. If Grinder is to contiue winning this event every two years, this would mean that Grinder should be one of the biggest players to watch later today.
The event kicks off at 4pm PT (Vegas Time) and the final table is set for Thursday.
