Two players have just completed historic triple wins of Main Events in major poker tours in less than a year each.

Carl Carodenuto

The poker world is rightly swooning over Fedor Holz's amazing 2016 which included, among many huge results, winning the Aria High Roller three times.

This week two players have emerged with more impressive triple results this year, at least in terms of the fact that those Aria events had small fields, and these two players won three large field events each.

US player Carl Carodenuto has had a very impressive 12 months, most notably because since December last year he has won the Mid Stakes Poker Tour Main Event three times.

While it may not be very well known in Europe, these $1,100 Main Events have big fields and Carl has taken them down for $116,103 in December 2015, $90,805 in April and earlier this month for $114,072.

Hawkins is running out of ring fingers

Maurice Hawkins

Elsewhere an almost identical triple has just been completed in the WSOP Circuit tour, with veteran player Maurice Hawkins winning three WSOP-C rings in seven months.

He won two events in April for $113,152 and $279,722 respectively, and has just taken down the West Palm Beach event for $95,921. This takes his career WSOP-C rings to a staggering eight.

This might mean we see Hawkins in Europe looking to extend his record as the WSOP-C has recently announced a big European schedule.

Both results look unlikely to be replicated anytime soon, especially as all the fields were large.
