Longson first finished in the money at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 1991 in the $1,500 no limit hold'em event, where he finished 2nd to Brent Carter. He also cashed in the $10,000 no limit hold'em main event that year, finishing 12th. Longson was again close to winning a WSOP bracelet in 1992, finishing 2nd to "Cowboy" Hoyt Corkins in the $5,000 pot limit Omaha event.

Longson eventually won a WSOP bracelet in 1994 World Series of Poker in the $1,500 pot limit Omaha event, defeating a final table including Surinder Sunar and T.J. Cloutier. He won a second bracelet in 2003 in the $5,000 no limit deuce to seven draw event, defeating a final table including Allen Cunningham, Bill Baxter, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Howard "The Professor" Lederer. His third and most recent bracelet came in the 2005 $1,500 Seven-Card Razz event, defeating a final table including "King" Bruno Fitoussi and Mickey "The Worm" Wernick.

As of 2005, his total live tournament winnings exceed $900,000.

Longson plays less tournaments than he used to as he is hard of hearing and now chooses to concentrate on cash games instead.
