ESPN.com’s “The Nuts” ranks monthly the hottest poker players of the world. In June listing there are two new names: Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Daniel Alaei.

Mizrachi won this year’s WSOP $50K Player’s Championship tournament in which Alaei was sixth. Alaei rises straight to the 9th place on “The Nuts” list since he has cashed six-number figures from his five last tournaments.
The Top Four of the list remains the same, but the biggest leap is done by Sorel Mizzi. Mizzi rises four positions after his 2nd prize in the EPT Paris High Roller tournament. Instead, Faraz “The Toilet” Jaka and Carlos Mortensen have disappeared from the list.
