About this episode

Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi joins Happy Hour fresh off a whirlwind run that’s cemented his legacy as one of poker’s all time greats. A newly crowned 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event champion and Hall of Famer, Michael reflects on a career that’s seen him rack up over $30 million in earnings, win eight WSOP bracelets, and dominate the Poker Players Championship an unprecedented four times. And he’s done it all without studying a second of poker. Michael has graciously flown over all the way from America to tell Happy Hour about his life from underground games as a teenager to million dollar wins to blowing his fortune in minutes. He chats celebrity encounters, three day long Vegas parties, and the craziest thing he’s ever spent his money on. Michael shares his opinons on Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Jason Koon, and more. Plus the insane reason he was nearly an hour late to Day 6 of the WSOP!
