Secretariat won Horse Racing's Triple Crown in 1973 ... almost forty years later, Jake Cody has done the same - well, on the poker felt that is.
Cody becomes the third player in poker history to win a EPT, WPT and now a WSOP title. He won EPT Deauville and WPT London in 2010 and last night, he added a World Series of Poker bracelet to his trophy case, defeating Yevgeniy Timoshenko in the 25K Heads Up Championship.
Cody has one rowdy army of family and friends cheering for him in the finals, the sound at times was deafening - it was great to see ... we all know the folks from the UK can party!
Jake, who finished in the PTPR Tournament Player of the Year Top 10 in 2010, is the first bracelet winner of the 2011 WSOP season.
