Campbell was formerly a professional esports player and was the top-ranked Pokémon player in the world. He also worked as a standup comedian. [1] He's currently CEO of the Dota 2 gaming team Neon Esports.[ citation needed ] His first WSOP cash came from a final table appearance in a Mixed Event at the 2013 WSOP Asia Pacific in his hometown. In 2015, he finished second in a $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event at the WSOP. He had four prior final tables at the WSOP before 2019.

At the 2019 WSOP, Campbell won his first bracelet in the $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw event, defeating three-time bracelet winner David Bach heads-up and earning $144,000. [2] He added his second bracelet in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo event, becoming the first player with multiple bracelets in 2019. [3]

With 3,418.78 points, Campbell took the lead in the POY race into the WSOP Europe.
