Mizrachi, whose early season success in World Poker Tour events in January and February launched him into the lead almost from the start, has continued to be a dominant force at the tables for the entirety of 2006.
WPT 2006 Legends of Poker champion Joe Pelton has pulled an almost identical feat to Mizrachi's early 2006 performance by finishing in third place during the Festa al Lago and is in the eleventh place slot.

 Robert Lindsay: Mizrachi Identity: Another Possibility
The Mizrachi are the Jews of the Orient, and the largest group of them came from the Arab World and Iran, or, as we like to refer to them on this blog, the Arab Jews (though some of them do not like to be called Arab Jews due to the conflict with the Arabs).
In Israeli popular culture, Mizrachi are portrayed as criminal, violent, unseemly, neglectful and prone to social unrest.

The party was founded in 1901 at a conference of religious Zionists convened in Vienna by Rabbi Isaac Jacob Reines (1839-1915), who served as the organizations first president.
"The Mizrachi maintains that the revival of the land and language can only be regarded as a portion of Israel, and one does not fulfill his duties towards the whole of Judaism by participation in these activities alone."
In addition to its important network of modern religious schools (which became the basis for the Israeli State Religious School System), in which spoken Hebrew and Biblical studies were taught (unlike the traditional yeshivot), the Mizrachi participated fully in Zionist congresses and other political activities, and trained its members for agricultural labor in Eretz Yisrael.
