Joe Simpkins was born in Sydney, Australia. He's often called "Cowboy Joe Simpkins," and if you've ever seen him at the poker tables, you know why. He's never without his boots and Stetson hat. It's not just about the outfit for him, though. Simpkins raises and trains horses.

Simpkins started playing poker in home games. He's played poker for more than three decades.

Simpkins made his mark on the World Poker Tour during Season One when he made the final table of the Party Poker Million. Poker greats Howard Lederer and Chip Jett were also seated at that final table. Simpkins ended up in third place, winning more than $105,000.
