It took all of two days for Frederik Brink (pictured), who goes by the user name BRINKhere on PocketFives, to score an online poker Triple Crown. If you’re not familiar with the award, a Triple Crown requires a person to bink three online poker tournaments with at least a $10,000 prize pool across three sites tracked for the PocketFives Rankings within seven days. And, as we said, Brink needed all of 48 hours to accomplish the task. PocketFives caught up with the Danish poker pro and former Aussie Millions Main Event second place finisher to get his thoughts.

On January 18th, Brink scored the first leg of his Triple Crown by winning a $100 tournament on bwinfor $3,600. The next day, he was up to his winning ways once again, this time by virtue of taking down the PokerStars $10,000 Guaranteedfor $4,300. Finally, on January 20th, his Triple Crown quest was complete with a victory in the William Hill Friday $60,000 Guaranteed for a rock solid $13,000.

Reflecting on his Triple Crown, Brink told PocketFives, “I’m feeling pretty damn good, but mostly it’s fun for bragging rights.”

One day after his Triple Crown win, Brink took down the $50 Rebuy on the iPoker Network for another $5,700, giving him four straight days with a win in a major MTT. He told us, “I haven’t done that before, so that’s a pretty good feeling. I was also close to winning a Triple Crown in one day on the 21st. I won the $50 Rebuy on iPoker, lost a coin flip with six left in the PartyPoker $215, and finished in second in the $100 Turbo on PokerStars.”

Denmark has produced a series of well-known names in poker, including former World Series of Poker Main Event winner Peter Eastgate and former backgammon player Gus Hansen. Brink is #2 in the PocketFives Sortable Rankings for his home nation and sits at #72 worldwide.

On the state of poker in Denmark, which is home to over 200 registered PocketFives members, Brink shared, “Denmark is a fairly small country, so there are not that many poker pros, but I feel that we stick together in a good way by supporting each other, talking about hands, and analyzing the game.” The top Danish player on our site, by the way, is 46th ranked p1nkun1c0rn (pictured).

We asked Brink how he got his start in our great game: “I had some colleagues who played a bit of poker and they had me play a freeroll. I lost, but played some more freerolls and, after a month or so, won $80. The very next day, I played the biggest tournament on Boss Media, a $30 freezeout, and won it for $2,300, which was huge for me back in 2006. One month later, I qualified for the WSOP Main Event for $7, so I played my first WSOP Main Event with only a few months of poker practice. I have played that tournament every year since.”

There’s a certain amount of experience a person can get from playing in the WSOP Main Eventmultiple times. On what he’s taken away from the yearly $10,000 buy-in tournament, Brink told PocketFives, “I feel like it’s taught me to be patient. It is such a long tournament. I probably still have some learning to do in the patience department, though. Other than that, I have had some really entertaining days at the Rio playing in the WSOP. There is just kind of a special feel to it that there isn’t in the EPTs or WPTs.”

In January 2010, Brink finished second in the Aussie Millions Main Event to the tune of $1 million. Three months after that, he final tabled a preliminary event held during the EPT’s annual stop in Monte Carlo for another $136,000. Besides his Triple Crown, other claims to fame in the online poker world include a $215 No Limit Hold’em SCOOP final table last May for $50,000. Six days before that, he had reached the final table of a $100 Rebuy SCOOP event for $37,000. In mid-August, Brink took down the PartyPoker High Roller for $36,000.
