The Global Poker Awards (GPA), the first and only awards show of its kind in the world to recognize achievement in poker, will be taking place on February 16th. Now is your chance to vote for this year’s recipients before anyone is announced as a winner. Voting ends January 20th!
On February 18, the Global Poker Index (GPI) and The Hendon Mob (THM), in collaboration with PokerGO, announced the return of the Global Poker Awards. The yearly awards recognize the greatest poker players, tours, and other industry professionals.
This will be the first time the accolades have been handed since March 2020, due to the epidemic. The 2021 ceremony will be broadcast live from Aria Resort’s PokerGO Studio.
GPI/THM President Eric Danis remarked, “We’re extremely thrilled to have the chance to present the Global Poker Awards with our colleagues at PokerGO for the first time in over two years.” “We’ve been waiting for the awards ceremony to return with bated breath. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have planned for February 18.”
