Double first

Continuing a recent trend, I'm reusing a blog post title again. Here's an excerpt from the earlier post, which I wrote on August 13, 2012:

In the British educational system, a double first is an exceptional achievement; it signifies first class honors in parts one and two of one's selected field of study. I'm indebted to my father, who achieved a double first in the natural sciences at King's College Cambridge, for this definition. In poker, a double first is not nearly as exceptional, but is still commendable; it signifies winning two tournaments in a row.

I'll narrow the definition so that it only applies to sessions where I played exactly two tournaments. Under this new definition, I achieved the third double first of my sit and go no limit hold'em career last night.
