Simao made a blistering start to this year's partypoker POWERFEST, making two final tables on the very first Sunday of the festival.
"It's really good to have a good start," Simao told PokerNews. "It was especially good because it was a huge Sunday. It makes me very happy to open the partypoker lobby and see it full of players supporting the site."
Simao says that the fields were tough and full of great players that "don't make mistakes very often."
Waking up on Tuesday the Brazilian, who has been a partypoker Team Pro since October 2016, said he was already excited to start playing more events.
