Michael Mizrachi won the World Series of Poker Main Event on Wednesday at Horseshoe Las Vegas.

The professional poker player defeated John Wasnock of North Bend, Washington, during heads-up play and outlasted a field of 9,735 entrants to capture the $10 million first prize.

Wasnock earned $6 million for second place, and Braxton Dunaway of Midland, Texas, was third for $4 million. Fourth-place finisher Kenny Hallaert of Belgium collected $3 million.

Mizrachi capped an unprecedented double, winning the $10,000 buy-in No-limit Hold’em World Championship after his record fourth victory in the $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship last month.

The 44-year-old Las Vegas resident, nicknamed “The Grinder,” is certain to be voted into the Poker Hall of Fame next summer.

Mizrachi now has eight career WSOP bracelets, which are awarded for tournament victories, tied with England’s Benny Glaser for seventh on the all-time list. The victory pushes Mizrachi’s career live tournament earnings past $29 million, according to the Hendon Mob Poker Database.

Mizrachi was down to less than three big blinds early on Day 8 of the Main Event, but ran up his stack and then bulldozed the final table. He held more than 75 percent of the chips in play with four players remaining.

When play at the final table resumed Wednesday, Mizrachi knocked out Hallaert and Dunaway, respectively, on the first two hands.
