$10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship Part 1

In 2007 Robert Mizrachi turned a few heads in the poker world when he became the first of the Mizrachi brothers to win a World Series of Poker bracelet. Everybody assumed that Michael “the Grinder” Mizrachi would be the first. He’d had some great success on the World Poker Tour and had been the brightest star in the family. But Robert’s win in the $10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Omaha event got him the bracelet and family bragging rights. The 2008 WSOP gave "the Grinder" a chance at redemption and he goes for his first bracelet in the same event his brother won a year earlier, $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha. The table certainly has international flavor to it. Peter Jetten of Toronto, Canada, Billy “the Croc” Argyros from Melbourne, Australia join Tom Hanlon of Dublin, Ireland and Marty Smyth of Belfast, Ireland. But despite the international intrigue, the story remains about Grinder. “Have brothers ever gone back-to-back?,” Mizrachi asked the day the final table started. The answer was no and in fact, only three sets of siblings each have a bracelet; Annie Duke and Howard Lederer, J.C. and Puggy Pearson and Grant and Blair Hinkle who each won a bracelet in 2008. Can Mizrachi pull of the historic win?
