GGPoker has signed one of the most recognizable figures in the poker world, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, as its new global ambassador. This marks the site’s most high-profile signing in the past five years and signals a return to its earlier strategy of partnering with top-tier poker stars.
Mizrachi has long been regarded as one of poker’s most popular and accomplished players, but his 2025 WSOP performance elevated his reputation to legendary status. He won both the Main Event and the Poker Players Championship—the two most prestigious tournaments of the series—an achievement no player had ever accomplished in the same year. For this historic double, Mizrachi was immediately inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, cementing his place among the game’s greats.
“Joining GGPoker was the natural next step in my career,” Mizrachi said in the press release. “I was looking for a partner that shares my ambitions, and GGPoker clearly represents the future of the game. I’m ready to represent the brand worldwide and bring my passion for poker to the online tables as well.”
Daniel Negreanu, who has led the GGTeam for more than six years, welcomed the new signing:
“Michael Mizrachi is the king of poker. What he achieved this year is likely unrepeatable. We’re thrilled to have him on board and excited for what the future holds.”
The Florida native will begin representing GGPoker immediately at major live events around the world. While he can’t regularly play online from his home, Mizrachi plans to join the GGPoker high-stakes action during his travels—such as at WSOP Paradise and other international stops.
GGPoker’s ambassador roster currently includes 27 players, featuring names like Fedor Holz, Kevin Martin, Felipe Mojave, Andy Stacks, and All In Pav. In earlier years, the team grew to nearly fifty members, divided into subgroups specializing in Short Deck, Omaha, or streaming, though these divisions were later discontinued.
In recent times, the GGTeam had been characterized by departures—Jason Koon, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Jeff Gross, and Ali Nejad all moved on. The addition of Mizrachi, however, may signal the start of a new era—one in which GGPoker once again builds its global image around elite professional players.
