Marcin ��MARCIN123�� Milde from Leeds, United Kingdom gave himself an early birthday present last weekend winning his second online Triple Crown in as many weeks �� his fourth overall.

The Triple Crown is awarded by PocketFives.com to any player who wins a multi-table tournament on three different online poker sites within a seven-day period. Winning one tournament is a difficult enough task at the best of times, never mind taking down three and doing it on concurrent weeks.

On December 30, Milde won the �100 buy-in Big Night In on the Microgaming Network for a $4,770.87 first prize and the �8,000 Guaranteed Rebuy on the iPoker Network ($2,486.91) to end 2013 on a high note.

He then started 2014 in the same rich vein of form, reaching three final tables in the first two days before taking down the PokerStars $33 NL Hold��em 1R1A ($2,928.30). This was Milde��s third win within a week and secured him a third Triple Crown.

On January 3, right one day after claiming the third Triple Crown of his career, Milde kept his winning streak on taking down also The Big �20 Special Sunday Million on the French PokerStars for a $5,172 first prize.

On January 5 then, he confirmed himself by winning also the Bigger $162 for a massive $42,000.65 pay day and the chance of a second Triple Crown in as many weeks. The $42,000.65 that Milde was awarded was the second largest cash of his online career, the largest being for over $110,000 after a third place finish at the Sunday Million in December 2011.

Milde secured a second Triple Crown on January 6, when playing as "Lippyt0wn123" he scooped the top prize in the �15,000 Guaranteed Rebuy on the iPoker Network for a $4,757.07 pay day.

Shortly after his latest victory, Milde wrote a simple but straight to the point Facebook status: "boom 4th triple crown on pocket fives.... #heattttttttttttttttttttttt."

Today, January 8, is Milde��s 25th birthday and he will no doubt be celebrating in style after this remarkable run of results. If Milde��s latest Facebook status is anything to go by, we will not see any more wins from him until at least Sunday:
