'The camaraderie is unique to this event, with players simultaneously battling it out, but also wishing each other deep runs when the tables break. 'Each Day 1 has been an amazing experience at the tables,' Simpson said of his past Main Event experiences. But he's stoked and ready to chase some life-changing money. He's played in it a few times in the past and has one cash, a 297th place finish in 2014 for $33,734. This won't be the first time Simpson has competed in poker's most prestigious live tournament. The Main Event begins July 3 with the first of four Day 1 starting flights, one more than in year's past. Competing in Poker's Biggest Event Ian Simpson PokerNews spoke with Simpson, one of 888poker's newest ambassadors, to discuss his excitement for competing for a world championship and balancing poker and family.
