John Phan and Rob Hollink both won their first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets last night.
Phan received his for triumphing in event 29, the $3,000 no-limit hold'em tournament, while Hollink took down event 30, the $10,000 Limit Hold'em World Championship.
The Vietnamese-American is a popular man on the poker circuit and friend Roy Winston wrote in his Card Player blog beforehand that he expected Razor to get the victory.
He received a first-place prize worth $434,789 after defeating Johnny Neckar in heads-up play.
Hollink's cheque was slightly bigger at $496,931 and he was presented with it following Jerrod Ankenman's elimination in second place.
The 46-year-old became the first Dutch player to win a WSOP bracelet and adds it to a growing trophy collection, which already includes a European Poker Tour title.
Few competitors have managed that double and he will no doubt be looking to follow in Gavin Griffin's footsteps and become the second man to win poker's triple crown.
