George Wolff
George Wolff is a highly respected professional poker player from the United States who has built a reputation as one of the most dangerous mixed-game specialists in the world. Originally from Portland, Oregon, he is known for his calm focus and a deep understanding of complex poker formats. Unlike many players who only play Hold’em, Wolff has proven he can beat the best in almost any game, from Pot Limit Omaha to 2-7 Triple Draw. His ability to stay cool under pressure and his consistent success in high-stakes environments have made him a regular at the most prestigious final tables on the global circuit.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, George Wolff has total live earnings of over $3.6 million. He currently sits high on the Oregon All Time Money List and is a regular in the world’s top rankings. His biggest single live cash came in early 2020 at the Aussie Millions in Melbourne, where he finished 2nd in the AUD 25,000 Challenge for a massive AUD 821,273 (~$566,774).
Wolff is also a powerhouse at the WSOP , where he has come inches away from winning a gold bracelet multiple times. In 2019, he finished 2nd in the $10,000 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship for $168,936. His success has continued into 2025, where he cashed in nine different events, including a 19th place finish in the $25,000 High Roller for $60,520. He has also made a name for himself on the WPT and the EPT , notably taking 2nd place in the €25,000 PLO High Roller at EPT Prague for $255,633.
Biography & Poker Background
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, George Wolff didn’t take the traditional path to poker stardom. He spent years honing his skills in the competitive local games of Portland before moving on to the international stage. He is often described as a “player’s player,” meaning he is someone that other professionals deeply respect for his technical ability and work ethic. While many pros seek the spotlight, Wolff is known for being humble and relatively quiet, preferring to let his results at the table speak for themselves. He travels about half the year to major poker hubs like Las Vegas, Barcelona, and the Bahamas, but he remains very connected to the American poker community.
Play Style & Strategy
Wolff is feared for his unpredictable and highly technical style of play. Because he has a deep background in mixed games, he is excellent at switching gears and putting maximum pressure on his opponents in non-traditional formats. He is especially good in Pot Limit Omaha and “short-handed” games, where having a mathematical edge is essential. Even though he is aggressive, he is famous for his “poker face” and rarely shows any emotion, whether he is bluffing or holding the best hand. This disciplined approach makes him one of the hardest players to read in any high-stakes tournament, especially when the blinds and antes get high.

Video Highlights:
My relationship with cards started thanks to my father. I was still in elementary school when he first taught me how to play Rummy, and I still remember the long evenings spent playing cards with my family. During the poker boom, I was still underage, but the televised tournaments immediately captured my attention. I became fascinated with the game and started learning different poker formats whenever I had the chance. Later in life, as an adult, I was fortunate enough to spend four years playing poker professionally. During that time, I mainly focused on Heads-Up Sit and Go games, where I found the format that suited me best. Even though my professional career was relatively short, poker remains something I’m grateful to have experienced as a major part of my life. Today, I play mostly as a hobby, while writing has become my main focus. That said, my enthusiasm for writing about poker is just as strong as my passion for playing the game once was.
