Michael Mizrachi won't be making history with back-to-back World Series of Poker Main Event victories.

The defending champion's title defense fizzled out on Day 5, where he was eliminated in 241st for $50,000. Mizrachi survived nearly five full days in poker's biggest tournament but couldn't recreate the remarkable run that ended with a $10 million payday 12 months ago.

Mizrachi, who navigated all ten days of the Main Event on his way to the world championship last summer, once again found himself among the survivors deep into Day 5. This time, however, his run was halted before the tournament's biggest payouts, ending any hopes of becoming the first player since Johnny Chan in 1987 and 1988 to successfully defend the WSOP Main Event title.

Fittingly, it would take a fellow Main Event champion to end The Grinder's run.
