Since 2000, at least one player every year has captured multiple World Series of Poker bracelets in a single year.
This trend has continued at the 2016 WSOP, as three players have already won twice. One player in particular already had a WSOP bracelet win prior to his double feat in 2016 and, more impressively, he won his two events in a span of less than one week, with a final table wedged in between his first and second win.
This player, who is in his twenties, narrowly missed out on capturing three bracelets in a single WSOP -- a rare trifecta that’s only been achieved six times; Phil Hellmuth and Ted Forrest both did it in 1993, and they’re joined by Puggy Pearson (1973), Phil Ivey (2002), Jeffrey Lisandro (2009) and George Danzer (2014).
