Latest WSOP Winners - Michael Mizrachi Wins Event 2 And First Bracelet On The World Series Of Poker.

The first winners on this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas have already count their prize money. The high-profile, globally covered poker event features some of the world's best known online poker players, that are often supported by the leading online poker rooms. However, the WSOP itself tends to be seen as an old-fashioned, traditional affair, not an online poker tournament.

Here are some of the latest WSOP results: Michael Mizrachi has won the first five-day event of the 2010 WSOP - Event 2, called, appropriately enough, the "Players' Championship." Some where saying this is the WSOP's most exciting event other than the final Main Table. And it was the tournament's biggest buy-in event (with $50,000 entry fee), as well.

Before play began on Friday, May 28, a 3-minute tribute was shown to honor the late Chip Reese and the trophy named after him was presented to 2009 champion David Bach, who won this event in the H.O.R.S.E. format.

It was a kind of family affair at the final table of the Event 2 of the 2010 World Series of Poker. Brothers Michael and Robert Mizrachi, who both have had tremendous success in their poker careers, found themselves sitting across each other at the final table with over $1.5 million on the line for first place finisher.

In the end of the battle, the 29-year-old poker pro claimed the title of "Poker Players' Champion," and the $1.559,046 first prize. This was Mizrachi's 20th WSOP finish in cash. Mizrachi witnessed the eliminations of Mikael Thuritz and Daniel Alaei before personally eliminating 23-year-old phenom David Baker and his brother Robert.

"Michael Mizrachi was the chip leader after Day 3, entered the final table fifth, then had one roller-coaster of a ride through the 12-hour final table," blogs ESPN's Andrew Feldman. "In the end, the 29-year-old pro claimed the title of ‘Poker Players' Champion,' the Chip Reese Memorial trophy and the $1.559,046 that goes with it. This was Mizrachi's 20th WSOP cash."

"To win Chip Reese's trophy is really special to me," said Mizrachi after his first WSOP Gold bracelet win. "I hope to be able to honor him in the way he deserves."

Other notable finishers from the tournament include: Nick Shulman (9th), Alexander Kostritsyn (10th) and Andy Bloch (16th place). Here are the complete results of Event 2 at the 2010 World Series of Poker:
