Just when things seemed to be going so well for Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, the law steps in to ruin his fun.

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.

Sounds like a good deal. The problem is that Mizrachi, after wearing the Deliverance colors throughout his early WSOP run this year, has since been seen sporting Full Tilt badging. This has raised the ire of the Texas company, who have now put the legal screws to both the Grinder and Tiltware itself.

This strange turn of events comes as an unwelcome blemish on Mizrachi’s productive 2010 campaign. According to recent rulings by the case’s sovereign, Judge James Nowlin, it appears as the the Grinder may be in the clear. Due to concerns about the effective date of the contract, the His Honor has shot down a pair of requests filed by Deliverance.

Here’s an excerpt from one of the company’s claims. See if you can unravel the legal-ese. The contract is supposed to occur “immediately upon the closing of Deliverance of an offering of debt or equity interests in Deliverance which raises no less than one million dollars.”

Got that? Yeah, us neither. And apparently, Judge Nowlin wasn’t impressed. As such, he has declared that Deliverance “shall not file any amended memoranda in support of additional Temporary Restraining Orders regarding this same matter.”

In other words, their case is dead. Mizrachi will be allowed to take to the felt, wearing his new Full Tilt colors.
