A New Home for EasyWithAces as Fintan Hand Joins WPT Global

The ink was barely dry on his new contract before Fintan "EasyWithAces" Hand proved exactly why he made the switch. Just days after WPT Global announced the popular Irish pro as their newest ambassador, Hand reportedly wasted no time in validating the site’s biggest selling point, celebrating a significant tournament victory almost immediately upon his arrival.

The 35-year-old Dublin native, who officially parted ways with PokerStars in November 2025, found a new home that seems to suit his style perfectly. 

For a streamer who built his community on transparency and grinding through the highs and lows, this debut is nothing short of a fairytale start. Hand, known for his energetic "VAMOOOOOS" celebrations on Twitch, capped off his introductory sessions by taking down a tournament title directly, a feat that usually takes ambassadors months to achieve on sharper, grinder-heavy sites.

While the specific payout details are still circulating through the community, the victory sends a clear message to his "Aces" community: the games on WPT Global are beatable, and the "glory days" of poker might be back.

The partnership between Hand and WPT Global is all strategy. The operator has been aggressively marketing its platform as having the softest online games in the industry, comparing its current player pool to the "2008-era" of online poker, a time before solvers and GTO wizards dominated the landscape.

By signing Hand, who is one of the most relatable figures in the streaming space, WPT Global is looking to bridge the gap between competitive pros and recreational fun. Hand’s role will focus heavily on:

Fintan Hand is no stranger to the winner's circle. With over $406,000 in live tournament earnings and multiple online titles (including illustrious SCOOP victories during his tenure at PokerStars), he is a veteran of the game. However, his departure from the Red Spade in late 2025 marked the end of an era, leaving fans wondering where he would land.

This move to WPT Global revitalizes his content. Instead of battling the same regs in the toughest pools online, Hand is now showcasing a platform where the edge for a skilled pro is significantly higher. Hand reportedly noted regarding the partnership:

With a fresh patch on his hoodie and a trophy already in the virtual cabinet, Hand’s tenure at WPT Global has started with a bang. All eyes will now be on his upcoming streams to see if this "beginner's luck" is actually the new normal for the Irish star.
