As the $3,300 Main Event reached its final table of nine, Michael Mizrachi was in pole position as the chip leader and he would eventually eliminate six of his eight opponents on the way to winning the WSOPC Vanderbijlpark title.
Amongst his list of victims was Jarred Solomon, whose pocket jacks ran into Mizrachi’s pocket kings to exit the tournament in 4th for $32,372. He was followed by Markus Feurie in 3rd ($44,565) in a pocket fours versus pocket tens mismatch, to herald in heads-up play between Mizrachi and South Africa’s Karl Myburgh.
Unfortunately for Myburgh he faced a 9 to 1 chip advantage and before long found himself all-in holding A-8 but up against the pocket queens of Mizrachi. In the end the board rolled out a harmless 7-6-10-7-J to relegate Myburgh to a runner-up finish worth $62,590, while Michael Mizrachi was crowned the 2013 WSOP Circuit South Africa Main Event champion.
