Triple Crown (poker)

In poker, the term Triple Crown is used in three ways:

So far, only 10 players have completed the Triple Crown: Gavin Griffin,[3] Roland De Wolfe,[4] Jake Cody,[5] Bertrand Grospellier,[6] Davidi Kitai,[7] Mohsin Charania,[8] Harrison Gimbel,[9] Niall Farrell,[10] Roberto Romanello,[11] and Mike Watson.[12] In 2008, Griffin won his first World Poker Tour title, becoming the first to complete the feat.

On January 25th, 2010, Jake Cody won the EPT Deauville Main Event and closed out the first of his three Triple Crown legs. He followed that up on September 4th, 2010, winning the WPT London Poker Classic, and completed the crown on June 4th, 2011 by earning a WSOP Bracelet after winning the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship. It took him 1 year, 4 months, 11 days, which is the shortest span of the ten players to achieve the feat.[13]
