Guillermo Sanz
Whoever said “there’s no rest for the wicked” must have been thinking about Guillermo Sanz. The man is a true poker creative that has navigated most facets of the industry, from playing on the felt to interviewing players, commentating and creating content for his stream.
A native of Palencia, Guillermo, known as Willo, started out as a writer and contributed to several poker platforms as an informed and respected voice within the industry. After a couple of years freelancing, he landed a dream job as a PokerStars commentator for European Poker Tour streams and TV shows.
Although he worked tirelessly to bring excellent content to PokerStars players and supporters, there was still an itch that needed to be scratched. The tables were calling and he couldn’t help but answer. After all, Willo began his poker journey in 2010 and has always loved the cut and thrust of tournaments.
With some impressive performances under his belt, such as cashing in the 20th anniversary of the EPT Barcelona event in 2024, Willo’s crowning glory came when he landed a PokerStars Power Path Gold Pass. Thanks to Power Path, he fulfilled a dream of playing in Monte-Carlo at the EPT, earning more recognition for his abilities from his peers and fans.
Since then, he’s been going from strength to strength at the tables, appearing at major tournaments including the Irish Open in 2025, where he made the money. With over $29,500 in live earnings already under his belt, Willo is set to be a fixture in pretty much every sense at PokerStars.
Guillermo plays online poker exclusively at PokerStars, where he plays under the username ‘willoelpillo’.
