Lex Veldhuis has joined GGPoker's GGTeam as Global Streaming Ambassador, according to a press release reported by PokerNews Brasil. The Dutchman becomes part of a group led by Daniel Negreanu.

Veldhuis announced early in 2026 that he was leaving PokerStars after 15 years with the room. His Twitch channel has 330,000 subscribers, and PokerNews Brasil calls him the most popular streamer in online poker history.

Negreanu, who signed with GGPoker in 2019 and has been its main face for seven years, said in the release that Veldhuis brings passion for the game, a strong work ethic and an ability to connect with fans.

Veldhuis described the move as a new chapter. He said he played exclusively on GGPoker over the past year and was impressed by the software and the size of the tournaments. He added that the experience renewed his enjoyment of playing and of the grind.

The pro was largely off stream for most of 2025. He is now streaming again and playing a schedule of online tournaments on GGPoker. Veldhuis, who plays mainly online MTTs and live cash games, has more than US$ 700,000 in live tournament earnings and has appeared on TV shows such as the PokerStars Big Game and High Stakes Poker.
