It's a double dose of WSOP bracelet winners on Saturday.

While French-Canadian Philippe Boucher was collecting his first bracelet earlier in the day, it was the Grinder, Michael Mizrachi who was grabbing headlines as the day wore on.

Grinder collected his second WSOP bracelet. After taking the 2010 Series in Vegas by storm, Grinder has come to Cannes 15 months later to pickup another bracelet.

Grinder defeated Roger Hairabedian and Shawn Buchanan today in order to secure the victory in the special "Split" holdem format - the first of it's kind in WSOP history ... where we played a full-ring, six handed and heads up all on different days.

Both Grinder and second place finisher Buchanan cross the century mark in PTPR Points for the season. Hairabedian earns his third PTPR Score of the year while it was number two for Noah Schwartz, Dan Fleyshman, Anatoliy Ozhenilok and Brian Hastings.

Final 8 Payouts (in EUR):
1- Michael Mizrachi 336,008
2- Shawn Buchanan 207,624
3- Roger Hairabedian 112,092
4- Noah Schwartz 112,092
5- Dan Fleyshman 54,810
