A premier online poker site, GGPoker, has announced a partnership with chess expert and streaming star Alexandra Botez, who will serve as a brand representative. Botez becomes the newest member of GGTeam, eager to advocate for poker and share her experiences globally, both digitally and through live events.
Originally from Dallas but brought up in Vancouver, Botez’s extraordinary chess talents have garnered her the esteemed Woman FIDE Master designation. Her extensive history in competitive chess has cultivated a keen strategic intellect, a valuable skillset she now applies to the realm of poker.
As part of GGTeam, Botez will engage with her substantial following (exceeding 1.3 million fans!) on platforms such as Twitch, offering her perspectives and adventures as she immerses herself further into the poker world. “Joining GGTeam is incredibly exciting!,” Botez expressed, “Their commitment to expanding the game of poker aligns with my own passions, and I’m enthusiastic to contribute to this endeavor.”
GGPoker’s Global Ambassador, Daniel Negreanu, enthusiastically welcomed Botez, remarking, “Having Alexandra Botez join our team is fantastic! She’s a leading chess content creator who is now documenting her poker progression, and it will be remarkable to observe. We’re delighted to include her within GGPoker and anticipate celebrating her achievements.”
GGPoker is on fire! They’re taking significant steps to link players with the World Series of Poker, presenting an opportunity at the Main Event via their “Path to Vegas” internet qualifiers. Furthermore, they’ve partnered with the WSOP Online series to assemble a colossal prize pool, rumored to be a staggering $100 million! Bringing a poker icon like Fedor Holz onto their roster? That’s simply showing off their prowess!
