888poker’s Ian Simpson Takes Down The Rumble in Coventry



Coventry has again proved a happy hunting ground for 888poker ambassador Ian Simpson. At the 2023 edition of the 888poker LIVE Coventry festival, Simpson won the £550 Dragon tournament for £21,360. Fast forward to today, Simpson has emerged victoriously from the £200 Dragon Rumble, a result worth £4,380.

Everyone knows that although Simpson takes his poker seriously, he plays with a smile on his face and loves a joke. Celebrating his latest victory on social media, Simpson called himself the “Poundshop Haxton”, a self-depreciating comparison to high-stakes legend Isaac Haxton based on how both prefer wearing a facemask when playing poker in the live arena
