Michael Mizrachi, WSOP winner and pro player at Full Tilt Poker, is sued by Deliverance Poker, his previous sponsor, because of contract breach.
According to Deliverance, they signed with Mizrachi in July 2009, for which he received $150,000, a 1.75% interest in the company and "advance expenses related to poker tournaments in which Defendant Mizrachi would participate.” In return, he had to wear Deliverance patches and hats at all public appearances. Until the WSOP Main Event he did so but then he signed another deal with Tiltware and began to wear Full Tilt badges and hats. This is where the complaint stems from.
Michael ‘The Grinder’ Mizrachi
Deliverance claims their contract with the pro has been breached by the one with Tiltware because he previously signed that he would "exclusively wear site logoed shirts and caps during all tournament and Public Apperances" and that he would grant exclusive access to his name and likeness to Deliverance. They now seek lost profits and earning capacity as well as other damages the court might order.
Mizrachi and Full Tilt are yet to comment the case.
