Must this upper bound on mixing time depend on the minimum stationary probability?

It is known fact that for a finite-state, reversible and ergodic Markov chain with transition matrix $M$, the following control on the mixing time holds $$\left( \frac{1}{\gamma_\star - 1}\right)\ln{2 … } \leq t_{mix} \leq \frac{\ln(4/\pi_\star)}{\gamma_\star}$$ where $\pi$ is the stationary distribution $\pi M = \pi$, $$\pi_\star = \min_i \pi(i),$$ the mixing time is defined by $$t_{mix} = \min \{t …
