I feel like I basically have been, but I can definitely notice that every tournament I play I&#8217;m finding it harder and harder to maintain that concentration level you need to have to go deep in these things. I&#8217;m hoping that a bit of a break now will do some good and I can come back fresh later in the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yikes, I just want to erase the memory of the WSOP Africa main event as quickly as possible so I&#8217;m writing this 10 minutes after busting.
