Regardless of winning the Dare2Stream promo, Simon chose to take an action back from streaming after the PSPC to rather concentrate on his craft as a gamer. That has actually exercised well for him up until now, and in his post-match interview with PokerNews, he stated he will continue this commitment to study and enhancement.
