Finally.<\/p>\n<h3>The Boost I needed<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve written poker history by winning two major WPT titles in a row. It all really dawned on me the next day when I read the messages congratulating me on the win. I really achieved something extraordinary in Cyprus. The win in Las Vegas gave me a boost, and when we got down to 30 players I sensed this was a chance that wasn\u2019t going to come around very often. And then I did it. I won.<\/p>\n<h3>Back on the Poker Road<\/h3>\n<p>Things will get going again on September 3rd with the Partouche in Cannes. From there I\u2019ll go on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/en\/tournaments\/annual-series\">WPTs in Paris and Malta<\/a>, before heading back to Cannes for the WSOPE. I\u2019m going to use the next few weeks to analyse my game.
