Poker�s Good Boy Beats Poker�s Bad Boy in Poularity contest

Michael �The Grinder� Mizrachi has won Cardplayer�s Player of the Year title. A sample of 50,000 online poker players who were asked which pro most deserved the title.

Absolute poker.com listed The Grinder as first, with 42% of the votes, closely followed by Phil Hellmuth, with 39%.

'It's one thing to have a major publication tell you you're the Player of the Year,' noted Mizrachi. 'But when the fans agree, you can't help but feel even more honoured.'

Mizrachi doesn�t need telling; in 2006 he earned $2.35 million from seven wins and 31 cash positions. His popularity isn�t limited to online poker players, he is respected by other professionals and his myspace site is full of congratulations. He makes recommendations there, sometimes out of the blue, which earns him many friends. However, visibility has its disadvantages. Interviewed by Bluff Magazine last year Mizrachi said, �I have to change my style a lot, because people watch me on TV and try to learn how I play.�

He also commented that his favourite tournament was the one followed by the birth of his second child.

�What greater feeling is there than winning lots of money and getting the greatest prize of your life the next day?�

Good boy!
