Photo:  Robert Mizrachi is second in chips, and by far the most accomplished player at the table, with more than $7.9 million in career earnings, and four WSOP bracelets. If he survives one more elimination, this will be his fourth WPT final table; will he finally add his name to the Mike Sexton WPT Champions Cup?

* First-place amount includes the winner’s $10,400 seat into the season-ending WPT Championship.
