One of the stars of this year's November Nine, Mizrachi has been named in a lawsuit by the Texas-based company Deliverance Poker. The company alleges that, in July of 2009, the Grinder signed an agreement which promised that he would act as a representative for their product. The document also allegedly earned him a payment of $150,000, as well as a 1.75% interest in the company. Mizrachi would also have received an undetermined amount of buy-ins and paid expenses, paying his way to poker tournaments around the world.
