Foxwoods Poker Results
Among those who stood atop the leaderboard when play concluded at Foxwoods was Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi, who gained a chunk of his chips when an opponent ran pocket kings into Mizrachi's aces. Mizrachi owns a stack of 125,900 entering Day 2, good for sixth overall. He is in search of his third WPT title after taking down the L.A. Poker Classic during Season 3 and the Borgata Poker Classic during Season 4. Despite his early success, he has not cashed in a WPT tournament since March of 2008.
The final table at the 2007 World Poker Finals at Foxwoods was absolutely stacked this year. First you had Nenad Medic, the defending champion of this tournament who headed into the final table as the short stack. Then you had Mark Weitzman, a professional poker player of 21 years with six World Series of Poker final tables under his belt.
Holding the 11th largest chip stack after one day of play is Jonathan Jaffe, the runner-up in the World Poker Finals last year. Jaffe owns a mountain of 116,000 chips and is one of 18 players to cross the six-figure mark. Jaffe earned $670,000 for his second place showing in 2008, as he fell to Jonathan 'FieryJustice' Little heads-up at the feature table. Also making last year's six-handed finale were David 'The Dragon' Pham, Charles Marchese, Jack Schanbacher, and Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow.
