The full list of nominations for all award categories will reportedly be ready next week
Poker enthusiasts now have the opportunity to make their voices heard for the upcoming 2024 Global Poker Awards. Set to take place on February 22 at the PokerGO Studios in Las Vegas, the awards will celebrate excellence across various aspects of the poker world. While most categories will be decided by industry insiders, fans can participate in voting for select awards, adding an exciting layer of engagement.
Among the categories open to public voting are “Best Poker Room,” “Best Original Trophy Design,” and the highly entertaining “Best Poker Hand.” The “Best Poker Room” award uses a write-in system, allowing fans to nominate their favorite card rooms rather than choosing from a pre-determined list. This gives poker aficionados the chance to spotlight venues they feel stand out for their service, atmosphere, or player experience.
The “Best Original Trophy Design” category invites fans to weigh in on the artistry and creativity of poker trophies, highlighting the importance of unique designs that capture the spirit of the game.
Perhaps the most thrilling category for fans is “Best Poker Hand,” which includes a selection of amazing plays from the past year. The nominees feature unforgettable moments such as Andrew Robl’s clash with Kristen Foxen in a $497,500 swing on PokerGO, a dramatic showdown involving AA vs. AA vs. KK vs. JJ at WPT Prime Cyprus, and Alan Keating’s involvement in massive pots on Hustler Casino Live.
The full list of nominations for all award categories is expected next week, with the GPI Player of the Year winners already revealed. For poker fans, this is a chance to relive some of the year’s most exciting moments while helping shape the narrative of the poker industry’s biggest night.
