Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on January 05, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi! May your celebrations be as thrilling as your legendary poker face and more rewarding than hitting a royal flush on the river. From grinding out victories at the 2010 and 2012 World Series of Poker tournaments to snagging CardPlayer Magazine's prestigious award in 2006, you've consistently shown us how it's done—one chip stack at a time.

Here's hoping this year deals you pocket aces every hand (or at least fewer bad beats). Keep bluffing boldly, stacking chips fearlessly, and reminding everyone why you're still poker royalty. Cheers to another winning year ahead!
