American poker professional Conrad Simpson is a highly respected tournament player. He shot to poker fame as one of the leading personalities in the Only Friends poker podcast, hosted by Matt Berkey. The Global Poker Award-winning show demonstrates Simpson’s warm and affable character, with his passion for poker and unmistakable laugh coming through in spades.
Born in Wilmington, North Carolina, Simpson started his poker journey as a private low-roller home game dealer while living in New York and New Jersey. He picked up a great deal of information on poker strategy at this time of his life, and within a couple of years was packing his bags and heading straight for the bright lights of Las Vegas.
He was armed with a YOLO attitude that would help him find his way in ‘Sin City’. After moving in with poker professional and friend Christian Soto, Simpson dipped his toe into the Vegas poker scene and hasn’t looked back since.
He is now a regular on the Vegas MTT poker tournament circuit and has racked up some solid wins, winning a WSOP Circuit event at Harrah’s in December 2019 and a 2021 Summer Poker Series event. He’s also final-tabled a string of WSOP events, finishing fourth in a Lucky 7’s online event in 2021 and an 8-Handed No Limit Hold’em event in the same year.
As part of the popular Only Friends poker podcast, Simpson is someone whose love for poker can never be questioned. He plays poker with the same vibrancy and charisma for which he’s known and celebrated behind the microphone.
