2025 was the Year of the Americans for TeamPro, the largest cryptocurrency poker room. CoinPoker appointed five players from the United States as ambassadors.

However, the start of the new year shows that the platform is also targeting internationally recognized players with strong media presence.

CoinPoker announced the expansion of its team in early February 2026, signing contracts with Yohan Gilbert (France), Mariano Grandoli (Argentina), and Brantzen Wong (USA). 

The poker room emphasized that the selections were strategic. The platform is focusing on players with diverse audiences and styles to reach both regular players and amateurs who come to poker through streams and YouTube.

Previously, CoinPoker already had a Creator Squad, which includes popular poker influencers. This highlights how important content creation is for the platform’s ambassador strategy.

Yohan "YoHViraL" Gilbert

Yohan Gilbert is a French professional poker player whose career didn’t get off to an easy start. At the age of 20, he lost all his savings playing live cash games in Paris.

Gilbert now regularly plays $500/$1000+ cash games across Europe, Cyprus, and Las Vegas. He also competes in high-stakes events on the EPT, Triton, and WSOP circuits.

His largest payout, $1,534,645, came in December 2025 for winning the $25K WSOP Paradise tournament. Interestingly, on the same day it was announced that the Frenchman had become a CoinPoker ambassador, he finished second in the $50,000 NLH Grand Slam, earning $870,000.

Gilbert has long since moved beyond the label of “just another grinder.” He has a large YouTube channel with over 176,000 subscribers, where he posts vlogs from cash games, tournament trips, and in-depth hand analyses. He's also active on X and Instagram, regularly sharing his thoughts on strategy and behind-the-scenes insights into high-stakes games. Gilbert has appeared on Game of Gold and on Hustler Casino Live Cyprus.

The player himself noted:

"Over the past eight years, I've turned down numerous partnership offers. But when something is being done right for poker, it's hard to say no. I'm thrilled to announce my partnership with CoinPoker."         

Mariano Grandoli

Mariano Grandoli is an Argentine professional poker player and poker vlogger. Born in Rosario, he moved to the United States at a young age. He discovered poker while in college and began playing seriously around the age of 19.

He initially experimented with various formats, but quickly focused on live cash games. In 2019, Mariano launched his own YouTube channel, which became the starting point for his media career and gradually led to widespread recognition in the poker community. The channel currently has over 200,000 subscribers.

Grandoli's main focus today is high-stakes live cash games. He gained most of his popularity through regular appearances on Hustler Casino Live streams in Los Angeles.

In March 2026, Mariano announced plans to host $200NL sessions on CoinPoker, complete with promotional giveaways.

Brantzen Wong

Brantzen Wong is an American professional poker player and poker vlogger from California. He began playing poker as a teenager. During college, he began playing regularly in casinos before eventually transitioning to professional play.. Brantzen focused primarily on live cash games in Los Angeles.

Wong gained widespread recognition through YouTube. In 2021, he launched the Brantzen Poker channel, where he began posting casino vlogs, detailed hand analyses, and accounts of his gaming sessions. The format proved popular, and the channel quickly grew to more than 400,000 subscribers.

In addition to vlogs, Wong regularly appears on cash game streams, including Hustler Casino Live. In 2024, his media career expanded beyond poker, appearing on the NBC reality show Deal or No Deal Island.The show combined elements of strategy, social alliances, and competition over cash prizes. Although he didn't make it to the finals, his appearance on the show significantly expanded his audience and cemented his status as one of the most media-savvy representatives of poker’s new generation.
