What is the Triple Crown?

The PocketFives.com Triple Crown celebrates a great accomplishment in online poker. The Triple Crown winner is the latest person to win three different tournaments on three different sites over the course of one week (any seven day period).

• A player must win three multi-table tournaments, each of which start within the same seven day period across three of any of the sites we track for P5er cashes.
• Each tournament must have a prize pool of at least $10K.
• Each tournament must have at least 100 players.
• Satellite tournaments do not count.
• Wins must be verified by the PocketFives.com staff from data collected from the sites themselves.
