Matt Hansen

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

There was a time when becoming a sponsored poker player or an ambassador of an online poker site required you to be an elite player. That or at least have one marquee tournament victory on your resume. Those times are long gone, as evidenced by GGPoker signing popular poker content creator "Greg Goes All In."

Greg Goes All In loves playing poker, even if he admits to not being anywhere near the best player in the world. Creating amazing, fun poker-related content is one of Greg's major strengths, and it is his content production skills that have secured him a place on the GGPoker Team.

Greg is now a fully-fledged member of the Content Creators Team, part of the GGTeam stable. His tongue-in-cheek, self-deprecating videos are a massive hit with his 16,500 YouTube followers. He even poked fun at himself when announcing his new content creation deal with GGPoker!

The self-proclaimed "memelord" has created dozens of viral poker videos over the past 12-months and even managed to bag himself an exclusive interview with 15-times WSOP champion Phil Hellmuth earlier this year.
