Want to hear a quick story about how I won just under $7,000 in just six hours playing online poker tournaments on WPT Global? Oh, go on then.
It all started with me waking up, very hungover, after my first-ever St. Patrick’s Day in Malta. It’s a massive celebration here, and let’s say, next year, I might pace myself a little better! If you know me, you know I’m not much of a drinker, a bit of a lightweight, some might say. But over the past year, I’ve developed a love for one particular drink: Guinness.
I had my first proper pint of Irish Guinness in Galway last year during a poker event, at a traditional Irish pub. It was love at first sip, and now I can’t drink regular beer anymore. But enough about that beautiful brown liquid—let’s talk poker.

The Hangover Recovery Plan
I woke up around 1 p.m., feeling rough. The last thing I wanted to do was stream and play poker, but hey, it’s my job. So, I went into full hangover recovery mode:
- Cold shower (brutal but effective)
- Sunlight
- Electrolytes in a pint of water
- Coffee
- Food
- Walk the dog
- Sauna
- Nap
- More food
- Good to go!
With that done, I loaded up my PC, started my stream countdown, coffee in hand, and got ready to play.
The Two Tournaments I Really Wanted to Win
Every time I play on WPT Global, the first two tournaments I register for are the $55 PKO Main Event and the $220 Grand Prix PKO Turbo—two new additions to the site and two that I hadn’t won yet.
Would you believe me if I said I ran deep in both at the same time? No? Well, here’s some proof.
The First Big Hands
I started the $55 Main Event with 30 big blinds (BB) and the $220 PKO with 100BB. In the $55, the first big hand came when the hijack opened to 2.1BB with 26.4BB left behind. I was in the SB with 6x6x. It was a close spot between calling or shoving, but I decided to go all-in. The hijack called with 77, and I needed some help. The flop came 8-5-7, giving them a set while I had an open-ended straight draw. I got lucky though, with a 9 on the river, which gave me the straight and doubled me up to 56.6BB.
In the next hand in the $55, I opened with AxQxfrom middle position with 26.4BB. The lojack three-bet to 5.2BB, covering me, and it folded around to me. It was another close spot, but I decided to jam. They snapped with QxQx. I managed to hit an ace on the flop, bringing me up to 55.3BB.
In the $220 PKO, I three-bet 10x10xfrom the cutoff after middle position opened to 2BB off 50BB. The small blind cold-called with a big stack of 136BB, and the original raiser also called. The flop came 6-6-3 with two hearts. The SB donk-led for 14.4BB into a 21.6BB pot, and I decided to call. The turn was the Q♣, and the small blind checked, so I checked behind for pot control. The river came 4♠, and the small blind quickly bet 13.9BB into a pot of 50.4BB. I didn’t hesitate to call with my tens. They showed 87 of hearts, missing a flush draw, and I scooped up the pot, bringing me up to 99.3BB.
Going Deep in Both
Fast forward, and I’m sitting 2/10 left ITM in the $55 and 5/15 in the $220 (11 ITM).
In the $55, I opened Q♠J♥from the CO with 68BB, and the big blind defended with 50BB. The flop came J♠7♠4♠, and I continuation-bet 1.5BB into a pot of 5.1BB. The big blind check-raised to 4.5BB, and I called. The turn was the 2♠, and the big blind bet 9BB into a pot of 14.1BB. I called again. The river came the A♠, and the big blind checked quickly. I checked back, suspecting they were bluffing. They showed A♣6♣, and I took down the pot.
A few hands later, I picked up AxQxfrom the cutoff with 39.6BB. I opened to 2BB, and the same opponent three-bet to 8BB with 32.8BB left. It was a tough spot, but I decided to jam, considering what I had seen them do with ace-six in the previous hand. They snapped with QxQx. I hit another ace on the flop, bringing me to the final table as chip leader with 55.3BB.
After hand thoughts: Looking back I think the call is best, given people in general don’t three-bet enough hands to make this a profitable all-in.
In the $220, I was now in the money, 5/10, and woke up with KxKxin the big blind with 32BB. The hijack, with a big stack of 62BB, opened to 2BB. I three-bet to 6.5BB, and they called. The flop came 5-3-4 (two hearts), and I decided to bet 6.1BB for protection. The hijack shoved all-in, and I snap-called. They showed A♥J♥, and we managed to hold, bringing me to the chip lead at the final table of the $220.
Heads-Up for Two Titles

Somehow, I found myself heads-up in both tournaments at the same time. In the $55, I was leading with 84.7BB vs 43BB, and in the $220, I was also leading with 38.2BB vs 26.5BB.
The heads-up match in the $55 started out rough for me as I lost a few pots and dropped to 8.6BB while my opponent had 75.3BB. But I wasn’t giving up. I doubled up with Jx9xvs Kx10x, then again with Ax9xvs KxQx, bringing me back to 34.3BB. The $220 heads-up was back and forth as well, but I kept my cool, hoping to get lucky a few more times.
In the $220, I was dealt AxKxsuited in the big blind while my opponent limped with 16.4BB. I made it 3.5BB to go, and they shoved all-in. I snap-called. The flop came K-7-3, the turn was a 9x, and the 8♠on the river sealed the deal. I had won the $220 PKO for $3,861.
Can We Win the $55 Too?
Now it was time to focus on the $55 heads-up match, which turned into one of the longest I’ve played online. I dropped to 11.6BB while my opponent had 50.4BB, but I kept fighting.
I doubled up with AxQxvs Ax6x, then won a big pot with Jx9xvs Kx3xto take the chip lead again. The very next hand, I looked down at AxKxand opened to 2BB. My opponent shoved for 23.4BB. I snap-called. They showed 3x3x, and the flop came J-8-4 rainbow, with a six on the turn. I needed the river, and when it came, it was the ace again!
I won the $55 PKO Main Event for $3,097!
$6,958 in One Night
Not bad for a Tuesday evening, huh?
Moral of the story:
- If you’re hungover, get out of bed and do something about it.
- If you get it in behind, just get there.
- And if you need a Barry on the river, call for it—it will come.
Hope you enjoyed the read! I’ll be uploading a YouTube highlights video of these wins soon—stay tuned.
