One of the UK's best players, Roland de Wolfe, made history today by taking a Bracelet in the WSOP $5000 Omaha Hi-Lo event.  This means that Roland de Wolfe has now won titles in the WSOP, EPT and WPT.  This Poker Triple Crown has only been done once before by Gavin Griffin.  The UK players have doubled the amount of bracelets collected compared to last years dismal result.  Last year Marty Smyth, from Ireland, won the $10000 PLO World Championship but no one from the UK managed to make to much of a dent at the WSOP.  

Roland de Wolfe is the second Brit to get a bracelet this year as last week JP Kelly won event #20 $1500 Pot Limit Holdem.  JP Kelly is only 23 years old and a great future prospect for the UK.  At Poker-Shark we love UK players.  Big wins like this is great for UK Poker.  Will we see another bracelet this year?  We hope so and we'll let you know when it happens.

Roland De Wolf is sponsored by Full Tilt.  Having won this new bracelet and showing great form there is a very likely chance that Roland de Wolfe will overtake Dave Ulliott in becoming the UK player with the highest tournament winnings.
