The first player to get the Triple Crown is none other than Gavin Griffin. He got his first from the $3,000 Pot Limit Hold ‘EM event at the WSOP in 2004; his second came from winning the EPT Grand Final title in 2007 and he finished the crown with his win on the WPT Borgata Classic in 2008.

De Wolfe got his first crown from winning the WPT Grand Prix De Paris in 2005; the second one from winning the EPT Dublin Title in 2006 and his last one from winning against 197 players including Griffin during the $5,000 PLO8 event at the WSOP 2009.

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 2005. 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.

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.
