23 year old, Sorel Mizzi is a big personality in the Betfair Poker Pro Team and he is bringing his personal style to the tables down under at the Aussie Millions 2010 event where he found himself amoung the chip leaders on Day 2 of the Main event.

In a recent interview with Pokerlistings Mizzi details what make sthe Aussie Millions event so special for him.

“I hit a lot of sets in Australia,” he joked. “But seriously, I have a really good feel for the table dynamic here. There’s something about Australia. Maybe it’s the air here that just helps me get in the zone a lot easier. Right now I’m playing the best poker I’ve ever played. Most of my reads are right on and feel like I have a good idea of where people are.”

“For some reason, every time I’m in Australia, I’m really focused,” he said. “Maybe it’s because I travel 25 hours to get here, so I might as well sit down and just focus on the task at hand.”

And while the live results have followed, including more than $1.6 million in career earnings over just the past four years, something is still missing from his resume. Among several deep cashes, Mizzi finished third in the 2007 Irish Open, second in the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe’s £5k Pot-Limit Omaha and second again in the 2009 WSOP’s $5k PLO.

Hopefully this will be his event, it’s a long flight home dwelling on another missed opportunity!
