Peter Eastgate回來了!!!冠軍離開8個月後回來了~太年輕達到頂峰，迷失了自己~現在回來了哦~

in the middle of 2010, Peter Eastgate announced he was leaving the game that made him a world champion. He left Team pokerstars Pro, stopped playing poker, and auctioned his WSOP Main Event bracelet for charity. Now, after several months on hiatus, Eastgate is ready to return to the game. He explains his reasoning below.

by Peter Eastgate
Sometimes in life a person can feel lost and wake up one morning not recognizing who he is. Last summer that was how I felt. Prior to winning the WSOP in 2008, my life was very much a good solid routine of playing online poker and hanging out with my friends and family. Winning the WSOP changed that. I relocated to London and started a new life, the life of a high profile poker pro. For almost 2 years I was in a constant spotlight, travelling from poker tournament to poker tournament, doing thousands of interviews and never had a chance to catch my breath. In the whirlwind that followed winning the WSOP I lost track of the most importing thing in my life, myself.
Last summer I decided that I wanted to stop playing poker and catch my breath and find out who I am and what I want to do with my life. Over the last 8 months I have had a chance to reconnect with my friends and most important, my family. I have spent quality time with my family and really had an opportunity to figure out who I am and what I want to do with the rest of my life. When there is no financial pressure it can sometimes be hard to get motivated to move forward as a person.
I truly enjoy playing poker. I love the competitive element and the mental challenges of tournament poker. I feel it is important to constantly grow as a person and for a while I didn't feel I was moving in the right direction. Having had time to think about my life and future I feel I have figured out how I can combine playing poker with a healthy life outside of poker.

I do not consider this a comeback, as I always knew there was a good chance I would play poker again. During my hiatus from poker, PokerStars have been very supportive. Therefore, I am pleased that I will start out with playing two events where I will be sponsored by PokerStars. First, I will be playing the PokerStars.com EPT Copenhagen which of course means a lot to me, since it is on my home ground. Then I will play the NBC Heads Up Championship. I am fortunate that PokerStars have the best online tournaments, so I have an opportunity to get back in tournament shape.
There have been some questions about the sale of my WSOP bracelet. I was not trying to devaluate the WSOP name. It was not sold to make any kind of statement. It was sold to raise money for UNICEF and I am very proud and thankful that the sale raised £100,000 to UNICEF

看到有人问他这8个月去哪了？
他在博客是如此说的（他写的很好，寓意深远~但我翻译得很烂。。。参考看看只是方便大家看中文，建议看原文）

在生活中,有时一个人会感到迷失，有时会在一个早上醒来不清楚自己到底是谁。去年夏天,那就是我的感受。
在赢得了WSOP的2008前,我的生活是非常多彩多姿的~平常打打扑克游戏也常和我的朋友们和家人一起。
但赢得了WSOP改变了这种现象。
我搬到伦敦,开始了新的生活,当个生活高调的职业扑克牌手。
干了两年，我在不断的镁光灯下,旅行,从扑克比赛到扑克比赛,做了成千上万次的访谈...
没有机会也让我喘不过气来。在旋风赢得了WSOP之后，我忘了最重要的事情在-我的生命中我自己的角色...

去年夏天我决定,我很想停下来不打牌并喘口气,找到我自己是谁？自己想做什么？
我想过我的生活！
在过去的8个月,我有机会重新与我的朋友和最重要的-我的家人在一起。
我花了大量的时间陪家人~也真的有机会来找出我是谁？我这一生想做什么？在没有经济压力的时候，有时很难给自己一个动力向前成为一个人。

我真的喜欢玩扑克。我喜欢竞争的元素和精神~挑战的竞争扑克。
我觉得这是重要的,不断成长成为一个人,虽然我不觉得我现在已经在朝着正确的方向前进。
但是我有了时间去思考我的生活与未来~现在我觉得我已经知道：除了打牌之外如何过一个健康的生活~

我不认为这是一个回归,因为我知道这是我一个很好的机会我能再次打牌。
在我的没打扑克的时间,,PokerStars已经很支持我了。
所以,我很高兴,我可以从参加pokerstar的两个赛事重新开始出发。
首先,我将会在PokerStars.com哥本哈根的EPT复出，当然这场比赛是对我是很重要的,因为它是在我家乡。
然后我会去参加NBC的单挑冠军赛。我很幸运,在PokerStars有最好的在线的比赛,所以我有机会重新回到比赛的最佳状况。

已经有一些关于卖掉我的WSOP手镯的消息。我没有试图贬WSOP的名字。我觉得我并没有卖出wsop的头衔。它只是为联合国儿童基金会筹集资金,我很骄傲和感激得卖了它并捐出100,000欧元给世界儿童基金会~
