Shortly after GGPoker signed Bertrand Grospellier as its brand ambassador, one of the most prominent online poker rooms and networks globally, GGPoker has announced that Fedor Holz will also become the brand’s ambassador. Fedor Holz is a well-established and well-respected name in the world of poker games.

This twenty-six-year-old German professional poker player known by his nickname CrownUpGuys holds one World Series of Poker bracelet. Fedor Holz was born in Saarbrücken and ever since emerging on the professional poker scene, he has remained focused on playing high roller poker tournaments. He was ranked as the best online player by Pocketfives.com back in 2014 and 2015. Back in July of 2016, he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the High Roller For One Drop $111,111 event where he won almost $5 million.

Fedor Holz’s Career as a Professional Player

Fedor Holz had his very first live cash eight years ago at the No Limit Hold’em €500 event of the GPT II Deepstack Series Main Event where he was second-placed and earned around €15,320. Holz is also a well-known name in the world of online poker gaming where he plays under his nickname CrownUpGuy. Speaking of its online presence, back in September of 2014, he was crowned the winner of the World Championship of Online Poker.

One year later, Fedor Holz finished twenty-fifth in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker where he cached around $262,574. Two years later in 2016, Fedor Holz was crowned the winner of the Triton Super High Roller event for $3,463,500. That same year, he was runner up in the iconic Super High Roller Bowl where he cashed out $3,500,000. He earned his biggest cash prize in a single event in 2018 at the No Limit Hold’em The Big One for One Drop $ 1,000,000 event where he cashed out around $6 million.

As estimated in March of this year, this young professional poker player is first on the all-time list of German poker players with winnings from live poker tournaments that go over $32 million. He is also eight-placed on the all-time money list thanks to its outstanding earnings. Some of his most recent caches include winning $5,500 at the $1,100 No Limit Hold’em Caribbean Poker Party 2018, winning $67,500 at the $25,000 No-Limit Hold’em 2018 World Poker Tour Five Diamond Classic and winning $85,000 at the Bellagio High Roller 14 2017 Bellagio High Roller Series.

GGPoker Working Alongside Pokercode

When it comes to GGPoker naming Fedor Holz as its brand ambassador, under the terms and conditions of this business deal, GGPoker will be also working alongside Pokercode. This poker community is led by Fedor Holz as well as several other professional poker players including Matthias Eibinger. Moreover, as part of this partnership deal, Pokercode joins the growing network of GGPoker business partners.

Commenting on signing the new business deal, Jean-Christophe Antoine who works for GGPoker said that GGPoker is delighted to welcome Fedor Holz to the company’s growing team. He also added that GGPoker could not be any happier for welcoming the Pokercode community to its team as well. On his part, Fedor Holz said that he is delighted to start working with one of the most prominent brands of this kind.

The announcement of Fedor Holz joining GGPoker as its ambassador came shortly after GGPoker launched its World Series of Poker Super Circuit Online Series which is a brand new series for the World Series of Poker coming at these challenging times when players are asked to practice social distancing due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The Wynn Las Vegas facility, generally known as simply Wynn, is one of the most luxurious casinos and resorts managed and owned by Wynn Resorts. The facility is located on the Las Vegas Strip. The venue opened its doors fourteen years ago on the 28th of April 2005. This $2.7 billion-worth casino resort is named after the company’s founder Steve Wynn and the company’s name Wynn Resorts.

The luxurious property covers over two hundred and fifteen acres of land located at the corner of Sands Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard just across the Fashion Show Mall. The main hotel facility has forty-five floors packed with more than two thousand and seven hundred rooms which range in size. The hotel area also includes villas and luxurious suites.

Moreover, the resort complex also features a massive 189,000 square feet casino floor as well as a 290,000 square feet convention center and a retail space with over 76,000 square feet area. Together with the neighboring Encore, the Wynn Las Vegas property includes over four thousand and seven hundred rooms which make this resort the seventh-largest hotel area in the world.

Wynn Las Vegas’ Shopping Complex and Other Amenities

As one of the most luxurious resorts in the world, Wynn Las Vegas features many other amenities besides its hotel area, casino floor, convention center and retail including its massive shopping complex Wynn Plaza and Encore Las Vegas which opened its doors back on the 9th of November 2019. Thanks to the Wynn Plaza complex, the facility is now located closer to the city’s main Boulevard.

The company responsible for the resort also planned on building Wynn Paradise Park which would be constructed close to Encore Las Vegas and Wynn Las Vegas. This massive golf course would include a twenty-acre lagoon, stunning waterfront meeting region, boardwalk as well as many other features which would surely bring extra traffic to the resort. However, the entire project was abandoned over a year ago.

Wynn Winter Classic Running from the 2nd until the 22nd of December

Many professional poker players have arrived at the facility in order to take part in a poker series that takes place at the Wynn Las Vegas facility from the 2nd until the 22nd of December. The poker series is named Wynn Winter Classic and it will surely attract more traffic to the property especially as the playing schedule is loaded with action while its guaranteed prize pool has already gone over $2.8 million.

The poker series has just started so poker players are still arriving. So far, the poker series kicked off with two great events including a $40 No-Limit Hold’em poker tournament and another $360 No-Limit Hold’em tournament featuring a great $100K guaranteed prize pool. Then, on the 4th of December, the series’ Senior’s poker event started offering loads of poker action for poker players who are older than fifty. This poker tournament is another No-Limit Hold’em event with the same $40 and $360 buy-ins.

Poker players who prefer Omaha also found great poker action at the poker series on the 5th and 6th of December with great Pot-Limit Omaha and Limit Omaha 8/B events. The Omaha Pot-Limit event featured a great $20K guaranteed prize poll while the other event featured a $10K guaranteed prize pool.

Furthermore, the largest poker series events will include massive $1.5M, $500K and $250 K guaranteed prize pools. The first of these bigger events No-Limit Hold’em for $55 and $545 buy-ins with the $250K guaranteed prize pool started on the 5th of December. The second-largest event with the $500 K guaranteed prize pool is scheduled for the 12th of December with $80 and $1,020 buy-ins. The biggest event with the $1.5 M guaranteed prize pool will feature a $5,000 buy-in alongside $300 with sixty-minute blinds.
