Michael “The Grinder" Mizrachi helped make poker history with the help of his twin brother Eric, when the pair became the first set of twins to play heads-up at a poker tournament's final table. Mizrachi and Mizrachi stunted the competition at a Limit Texas Hold 'em event, part of the roster of the 2006 Winnin' O' the Green poker tournament series, currently underway at the Bicycle Club in California.

Both Mike and Eric whittled down the 41 player field, an achievement that put them in direct competition with one another in a final heads-up duel. It was the more famous Mizrachi, Michael, who ultimately took first place and the accompanying $18,450 top prize. In second place, Eric won $10,250. Along with claiming 70% of the total prize pool between the two of them, the Mizrachi brothers have also undoubtedly generated some fodder for discussion at the next Mizrachi family reunion.
