  • Poker's "triple crown" consists of winning a WSOP bracelet as well as titles on the WPT and EPT.
  • There is some debate on the legitimacy of his "triple crown" achievement since his WPT win was a Celebrity Invitational event, thus not being an open event and arguments that this charity event had a weakened field.
  • Although he had to beat 482 players to win it, including almost every famous pro poker player.
  • But the WPT eventually officially stated that they recognise the Invitational as an official WPT event.As of August 2016 His total live tournament winnings exceeds $7,480,000.
