successfully made it to the final table of the $10,000 Eight Game Mix Championship and is leading in chips to compete for the championship.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h2>Eight Game Mix is hailed as a &quot;testing ground for all-rounders&quot;.\u201c<\/h2><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The $10,000 Eight Game Mix Championship has long been considered one of the most technically demanding
