 Online
Poker Survey Names Mizrachi As Greatest
Player
Online poker room
Absolute
Poker have
announced the results of their recent pro-related poker
survey.
The survey asked 50,000
Online
Poker players
which pro they think most deserves to be called Player of
the Year.
The results confirm why
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi earned Cardplayer's Player of
the Year title. In Absolute Poker's survey, Grinder came out
on top, claiming 42% of the votes. Legendary poker pro, Phil
Hellmuth, came in a close second, capturing 39% of the
votes.
A handful of other unnamed
poker pros collectively claimed the remaining 19% of the
votes.
The numbers speak volumes
about what it means to be a pro. In 2006, Mizrachi made 10
final tables, won a total of seven tournaments and cashed 31
times in tournaments to earn $2,356,970.
Hellmuth, on the other
hand, captured his record-tying 10th WSOP bracelet. Only
Johnny
Chan and Doyle
Brunson have won an equal number of WSOP bracelets. Hellmuth
was also the first player to cash 50 times at the World
Series of Poker and the only player to do both.
The public believes that
Mizrachi's achievements are more impressive.
"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 honored."
