That’s an average of almost one every day. Mitchell is currently ranked 45th on the pocketfives.com online tournament rankings, mainly because of his first-place finish in the FTOPS $1060 No Limit Hold’em on November 11, for a payday of $322,500.00.
Mitchell’s other recent notable scores include another first-place finish in the $109+R NL Hold’em ($70,000 guaranteed) at PokerStars on August 3 for $62,287.50. Another win came in the $109+R NL Hold’em at PokerStars on September 22 for $30,250.00. Back in August he also had a second-place finish in the 1K Monday on Full Tilt Poker for another $65,410.
Mitchell has also had 11 other finishes of $10,000 or more this year, bringing his multi-table tournament total earnings to over a half-million dollars this year. His all-time total online earnings are $817,886.00; pretty lucrative success for a young player who is only 20 years old.
Mitchell earned his way up through the ranks, slowly climbing the blind levels since 2005. He commented on his climb in an interview with pocketfives.com: “I used to be a really low volume player,” said Mitchell. “I didn’t usually play more than six tournaments at a time. I had a bad run and realized that there are a ton of tournaments out there with a lot of value and I was missing out on them. Now, I put in a lot of full days.”
His success has come from a dedication to playing as many tournaments as he can. “I’ve been in a groove,” noted Mitchell. “I played a lot during the WCOOP. I started to make deeper runs and then finally got a few wins.
“A lot of it for me is just desire,” he added. “When I actually want to be playing, I seem to get in a groove, but it’s hard to play when you really just want to be doing other things.”
Watch the continued rise of this accomplished young player, and watch out for Mitchell when you’re sitting down to play at Pinnacle Sports Poker.
