Michael Mizrachi already had his place in the annals of poker history as a two-time WSOP $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner, with victories in 2010 and 2012. Two years after Brian Rast matched that feat, Mizrachi once again distanced himself from the pack on Tuesday -- winning his third Poker Players Championship title, fourth overall WSOP bracelet and another $1.24 million. He defeated John Hennigan heads-up, denying Hennigan his own attempt at a second PPC title -- though Hennigan did push into first place in the 2018 WSOP POY race with the result. Another big winner in recent days was Matthew Davis, who outlasted 5,918 player to win the $1,000 Seniors Championship for $662,676. Yueqi Zhu won the $1,500 Mixed Omaha event for his first bracelet, after a number of previous close calls; he has two seconds, four thirds, a fourth and two sixth-place finishes to his WSOP record. Finally, the super seniors event got down to heads-up play before calling it off for the night, with three-time bracelet-winner Farzad Bonyadi's mother Fahrintaj facing a 4.5-to-1 deficit against Robert Beach when play resumes Wednesday.
