Sorel Mizzi is professional poker player from Toronto, Canada. He grew up in the family where family’s members loved all sorts of gambling. Sorel’s favorite table games were “Scrabble” and “Wheel of Fortune”. His mother was fond of video-poker, basically it was 5-card draw poker, that’s why Mizzi learned the rules of this game at an early age.

At the age of 18, Sorel's passion for poker has moved to a more serious level. The reason for this was that his brother owed him money, and instead of returning it in cash, he put it on Sorel’s account at PartyPoker. Since then Mizzi is the game fan and doesn’t stop surprising with his success.

By playing online under nickname "Imper1um", in 2007 he became FTOPS champion and got 40 971$. In 2015 Sorel won at SCOOP-03 NLHE for 2 100$ and enriched with 354 960$. It was his largest winning in online tournaments.

In the live events Mizzi earned more than 11 million dollars. One of his profitable games was NLH Super High Roller-8 Max for 100 000% at EPT Grand Final 2013 in Monte-Carlo. Then he took the 3rd place and earned 679 100€ or 890 500$. In 2014 Sorel finished at the second place at Main Event Aussie Millions Poker Championship in Melbourne and enriched with 875 000$. For today the largest winning of Mizzi is 2 073 868$ that he got for the 3rd place at Main Event GuangDong Asia Millions for 1 000 000$ in Macao in 2013.
