Roland De Wolfe Completes Triple Crown

By: Chris Iaquinta – June 19, 2009 | World Series of Poker

Famed English poker pro Roland De Wolfe beat out a final table stacked with notable players including Andy Black, Antony Lellouche and Scott Clements to take home first place honors during the Event #27 $5,000 PLO Hi/Lo event at the WSOP. The win represents De Wolfe’s first ever WSOP bracelet, and also earns him the honor of being only the second player ever to win poker’s “Triple Crown”.

Along with Gavin Griffin, De Wolfe has won an EPT, WSOP and WPT title, putting him into the most elite club in poker. For his first place finish in the $5,000 PLO Hi/Lo event, De Wolfe also picked up $246,616. Only a handful of players have victories in any two of the three Triple Crown qualifying series, so it’ll be interesting to see just how much time passes before the third Triple Crown inductee is named.
