Triple Crown (Poker)


In poker the term Triple Crown is used for winning a poker title on the three major poker tours: The World Series of Poker (WSOP), World Poker Tour (WPT) and up to 2016 the European Poker Tour (EPT). Since the EPT has been discontinued and rebranded as the PokerStars Championship, those wins are considered part of the crown.

So far, only seven players have completed the feat: Gavin Griffin,Roland De Wolfe,Jake Cody,Bertrand Grospellier, Davidi Kitai, Mohsin Charania, and Harrison Gimbel. In 2008, Griffin won his first World Poker Tour title, becoming the first to complete the feat.

On January 25, 2010, Cody won the EPT Deauville. He followed that up on September 4, 2010, Cody won the WPT London Poker Classic, and then, he completed the crown on June 4, 2011. It took him 1 year, 4 months, 11 days, which is the quickest of the five.

Kitai's WPT title was won in a six player invitational tournament.
