Sorel Mizzi: Poker Star Reflects on Controversies and Career


Sorel Mizzi, a well-known poker player, has had a career marked by both significant successes and notable controversies. Mizzi is known for his involvement in incidents such as purchasing Chris Voehn's account and playing under a different nickname, kristy_sea, after his Full Tilt account was hacked.

In a recent interview, Mizzi reflected on his career and the ethical dilemmas he has faced. He acknowledged that his actions, such as purchasing Voehn's account, were seen as unethical by many in the poker community. However, he also pointed out that such practices were not uncommon at the time and that he was often used as a scapegoat to change the rules of the game.

Mizzi was also accused of playing the WCOOP main event from his home in Las Vegas, an allegation he addressed openly. He discussed the complexities of online poker regulations and the challenges players face when navigating the ever-changing landscape of the game. Despite the controversies, Mizzi remains a prominent figure in the poker world, known for his skills and his outspoken views on the ethics of the game.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
