Happy New Year from all of us at PocketFives! One of the major awards we give out to our members is the PocketFives Triple Crown. In order to earn it, a person needs to win three $10,000 prize pool tournaments across three sites tracked for the PocketFives Rankings within a seven-day period. Each tournament needs to have at least 100 entrants. After the award was won a record 208 times in 2013, we gave out 137 of them in 2014.

Here’s a look at the number of PocketFives Triple Crowns given out each year since PocketFives was launched in 2005:

2014: 137 Triple Crowns
2013: 208 Triple Crowns
2012: 124 Triple Crowns
2011: 66 Triple Crowns

Chris moorman1 Moorman (pictured above) continues to pace the PocketFives community with 24 Triple Crowns, more than double the next closest person. Moorman racked up five Triple Crowns in 2014, one each in February, September, and December, as well as two in August. Moorman also leads the way in winnings from online tournaments at $11.8 million. We’ll see how close to $15 million he can get in 2015.
