Van Der Weckene is described in the Spirit Festival report as a "Frenchman" who secured a deep run alongside other final table players. While no specific playing style analysis is available, his consistent deep runs in large-field events (such as the 1,627-entry Spirit Festival and 1,467-entry OKF Main Event) suggest a balanced and patient approach. He is a relatively low-profile player, with limited public coverage outside of tournament result listings.

Outside of poker, a LinkedIn profile under the same name indicates that Gregory Van der Weckene works as a Sales Representative for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in northeastern France, with a professional background in the tire industry spanning over 15 years. However, it is not confirmed that this profile belongs to the poker player.

Gregory Van Der Weckene has built a steady live tournament resume with a high point of €20,580 from a 4th-place finish in a major Namur event. He remains an active but under-the-radar competitor on the European circuit.
