The Triple Crown is garnered by a poker pro who won the three of the most important events in poker and that would be the European Poker Tour (EPT), World Poker Tour (WPT) and the World Series of Poker (WSOP). English professional poker player Roland De Wolfe is fortunate enough to become one of the two players who won the Triple Crown. He even dresses himself with a Union Jack track-suit during the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event where he won his first WSOP bracelet this year showing that his proud to be an Englishman.
The other poker pro who won the Triple Crown was Gavin Griffin. He is the first player who actually got this honor by winning the following events: winning the $3,000 Pot Limit Hold 'Em at the WSOP in 2004, capturing the EPT Grand Final title in 2007 and succeeding in getting the title at the WPT Borgata classic in 2008.
Roland garnered the first crown of his Triple Crown in 2005 when he won the WPT Grand Prix de Paris. The second one in 2006 when he succeeded during the EPT Dublin Title and then he won his final crown during the $5,000 PLO8 at the 2009 WSOP succeeding against 197 players including Gavin Griffin himself.
Once a contributor at a poker magazine called Edge, De Wolfe admitted that he's really not familiar with the variety of poker that gave him his first WSOP bracelet. He just combined his knowledge of the PLO and Omaha 8 and came out triumphant.
Since 2005, De Wolfe has been a permanent face in the European and American poker scene. This started when he won the $1,000 NLHE event gaining his first WSOP cash. For the record, Roland didn't get his highest pay from the three wins; he got it from the $25,000 WPT Championship event where he finished third and he took home at least a million.
His win in the WSOP this year marks his first victory in the US territory even if he got good records from his preceding WSOP tournaments: 14 WSOP cashes and a total pay of $650,000 from the WSOP.
EPT is generating big numbers in the recent years and time is the only factor when the two member club will increase it numbers. The EPT tournaments happen to be popular today with a lot of top US players traveling to Europe to join its events.
Maybe poker enthusiast will consider adding the Aussie Millions and Asian Pacific Poker Tour in order to form a Grand Slam to augment with the EPT, WPT and WSOP.
