Next breakout female tournament player? Angela Jordison wins 3 tournaments in a row

[Dan Druff]

Pretty amazing.

She won 3 consecutive events -- one with 537 players, one with 448, and one with 215.

The odds of doing that for the average player? 1 in 51,723,840.

Even if you want to say that the odds are much lower because a regular tournament player will eventually win a tournament, and this is simply the feat of winning two more immediately following, the odds of her winning the next two after the first win are still 1 in 96,320.

So needless to say, she has to be fairly good.

I don't know much about her, but I have to imagine she will be at the WSOP. She is 43 years old, so she isn't likely to get a lot of press from the "young, hot chick" angle. But she will probably get noticed if she continues to win.

She's from Bend, Oregon.

Forgive me for nitpicking, but those are the odds of her specifically doing it. If we assume that all 215 players in the last event also play the other 2, the odds of any one of them doing it are much more favorable (though still a longshot).

Similarly, the chances of Todd Witteles winning 2 bracelets next year are slim to none. However, it's a virtual lock that least one person will.
