Robert Mizrachi Is 23 Players from Bracelet Number Six

Robert Mizrachi has five gold bracelets, $6.66 million in lifetime earnings, 32 career final tables, and 23 players standing between him and a club that includes Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and Layne Flack.

As Day 2 of Event #96, the $3,000 6-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha, plays down to its final handful at the 2026 World Series of Poker, Mizrachi holds 1,080,000 chips. A sixth bracelet would place him in genuinely rare air.

The Six-Bracelet Threshold

Only 16 players in the 57-year history of the WSOP have won six or more bracelets. The names at that altitude read like a Hall of Fame ballot: Brunson, Chan, Flack, T.J. Cloutier's generation of road gamblers and the modern elite who followed them. Mizrachi, at five, is one win from joining.

The format matters here. This isn't a no-limit hold'em freezeout where a single cooler can erase a session's worth of careful play in one shove. Six-handed PLO rewards sustained edge over long stretches. Mizrachi's 32 career final tables suggest he knows how to navigate the kind of deep, multi-street decision trees that PLO demands.

The Field Around Him

Mizrachi isn't the chip leader. That distinction belongs to Mason Vieth, who holds 4,000,000 chips. Vieth has $562,673 in lifetime earnings and seven career final tables. He's building a résumé in real time, but nothing on it yet screams "bracelet favorite."

Behind Vieth, the stacks compress. Qingyu Lu sits on 900,000, and Yuhong Liu holds 895,000. Neither carries significant WSOP hardware. Lu's lifetime earnings stand at $19,453. Liu has $143,485 and one career final table.

In a field where no other remaining player owns a single bracelet, Mizrachi's experience advantage is stark. Five bracelets against a combined zero for every opponent still in the tournament.

What Makes This Different

Mizrachi's five bracelets already put him in elite company. But the gap between five and six is wider than it looks. Dozens of players have reached four or five. The leap to six filters out almost everyone.

The Mizrachi name carries PLO credibility beyond Robert's own record. His brother Michael won a PLO bracelet at the 2010 WSOP, making the family's connection to this format a matter of public record, not narrative convenience.

Robert Mizrachi doesn't need a biography. The numbers do the talking: five bracelets, $6,657,538 in lifetime cashes, 32 final tables across a career that has spanned multiple decades of WSOP competition. On July 14, the only number that matters is 23. That's how many players he has to beat.

One more win changes the sentence from "five-time bracelet winner" to something that fits on a very short list.
