Mediarex annoncierte die Finalisten für die Global Poker Awards. Hossein Ensan ist in der Kategorie Final Table Performance nominiert.
Die Global Poker Awards werden Anfang März verliehen. In 25 Kategorien werden Preise überreicht. Alex Foxen und Kristen Bicknell stehen aufgrund der GPI-Wertung bereits als Gewinner fest und verteidigen beide ihren Titel aus dem Vorjahr.
Die Poker-Community wählt mit und darf die „Hand of the Year“ sowie die „Poker Personality“ bestimmen. In den restlichen 21 Kategorien wird eine Jury entscheiden. Nach einem Auswahlverfahren sind nun die Finalisten bekanntgegeben worden.
Für die „Final Table Performance“ des Jahres ist Pokerweltmeister Hossein Ensan vorgeschlagen. Der Deutsche hat mit Alex Foxen (WPT World Poker Classic), Phillip Hui (WSOP $50K) und Bryn Kenney (Triton Poker Montenegro) jedoch starke Konkurrenz.
