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 first poker pro who won the Triple Crown was Gavin Griffin. He won in $3,000 Pot Limit Hold ‘Em in 2025 to gain his WSOP bracelet; he gained the EPT Grand Final Title in 2025 and he won the WPT Borgata Classic in 2025.
De Wolfe got his first crown from winning the WPT Grand Prix De Paris in 2025; the second one from winning the EPT Dublin Title in 2025 and his last one from winning against 197 players including Griffin during the $5,000 PLO8 event at the WSOP 2025.
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.
De Wolfe is already known in the European and American poker event scene due to his first WSOP cash in a $1,000 NLHE tournament in 2025. Surprisingly, Roland’s largest earning do not came from the Triple Crown tournaments; he got it from being third at the $25,000 WPT Championship wherein he got more than $1 million before going home.
The WSOP crown was his first win in the US soil but he has a great record in his preceding WSOP events including 14 WSOP cashes and at least $650,000 in WSOP earning throughout his career.
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 we’ll see an event in the future wherein the three crowning events will be augmented with the Aussie Millions or/and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour to build a Grand Slam one.
