Lex Veldhuis Becomes GGPoker's New Ambassador

Lex Veldhuis surprised the poker world in early 2026 when he announced the end of his 15-year career with PokerStars. Now his new home has been revealed. The legendary streamer, with 330,000 subscribers on Twitch, will be part of the GGPoker team.

In a press release published on Tuesday, GGPoker announced that Veldhuis has started his role as GGTeam's Global Streaming Ambassador. In this role, Veldhuis will work alongside Daniel Negreanu, who was a PokerStars Team Pro for a long time. Negreanu has been known as the face of GGPoker for seven years, since he was released by PokerStars in 2019.

Veldhuis built a large community on Twitch years ago and is considered the most popular live streamer in history. He has also been successful in live tournaments and appeared on high-stakes television programs such as PokerStars Big Game and High Stakes Poker. Having not streamed for most of 2025, Veldhuis has returned to a regular streaming schedule by playing multi-table tournaments on GGPoker.

Veldhuis has won more than $700,000 in live tournaments and mainly plays online multi-table tournaments and live cash games. He is expected to bring his audience with him to GGPoker.
