Global Poker Index in The Hendon Mob sta objavila nominirance v 17 kategorijah za četrte Global Poker Awards nagrade, potem ko je volilna komisila zaključila postopek glasovanja.
Trije so nominirani v dveh kategorijah, saj bo Jamie Kerstetter branila svoj naslov najboljše Twitter osebnosti, prav tako pa si je prislužila nominacijo v kategoriji najboljši voditelji. WSOP prvak Espen Jorstad je nominiran za največji preboj leta ter za njegovo igro na finalni mizi Main Eventa. Dvojna nominiranka pa tudi Marle Spragg, in sicer za video medijsko vsebino in Twitter osebnost.
S kar tremi nominacijami pa se lahko pohvali Ethan "Rampage" Yau, ki se bo z Espenom pomeril za največji preboj leta in seveda v kategoriji za najboljšega vloggerja. Poleg tega je eden izmed štirih finalistov izbora oboževalcev za poker osebnost leta.
Tri kategorije že imajo prejemnike, saj je bil Stephen Song razglašen za zmagovalca GPI igralca leta in GPI Mid-Major igralca leta, medtem ko je GPI igralka leta postala Cheris Andrews.
Zadnje štiri preostale kategorije pa so vse nagrade oboževalcev GPA Fans Choice Awards, kjer so bili razglašeni po štirje finalisti v vsaki od teh. Svoje finalne glasove lahko oddate tukaj.
