"The Grinder" is currently in the midst of a torrid multi-year run that has seen him earn roughly $5 million.

Mizrachi's run started at the WSOP $50k Player's Championship in 2010, where he won his first WSOP bracelet and $1,559,046. He followed this up with an appearance at the 2010 World Series of Poker main event final table, where he finished fifth for $2,332,992.

Earlier this year, Mizrachi seemed poised to win his second WSOP bracelet after making a deep run in the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo event. It was not meant to be though, as "The Grinder" ended up finishing in second place for $158,148.

With his victory on Saturday, Mizrachi moves past John Juanda to take 6th spot on the all-time tournament money list. Only Erik Seidel, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth and Jamie Gold have earned more in tournaments than Michael Mizrachi.
