Full 5th Global Poker Awards Nominees

Here is a list of all the nominees for the 5th Global Poker Awards:

Fans Choice: Best Hand

2023 saw another collection of hands that will remain long in the memory of the poker community. Tom Dwan makes up two of the four nominees, with his clashes with Doug Polk and Wesley Fei on Hustler Casino Live. Dwan and Fei played the largest pot in televised poker history, which saw $3.1 million head over to the former.

Bill Perkins pulled off an epic bluff at the The Lodge Card Club that was made even more memorable by his abrupt departure to catch a flight midway through the hand.

The final inclusion in the best hand category took place at Triton Poker London in the $125K Main Event. Four high rollers picked up four premium hands, resulting in a chaotic pre-flop betting round.

Fans Choice: Poker Personality

Four fresh faces make up the Fans Choice: Poker Personality race, which sees Gregory Liow Greg Goes All In, Seth Moeller SethyPoker, Jonathan Rand Slow Poker and Alexander Seibt Wolfgang Poker competing for the honor.

Seibt became the first poker vlogger to cross the one-million subscriber mark on YouTube and will be looking to emulate close friend Ethan “Rampage” Yau, who collected the award last year.

Fans Choice: Best Trophy

Players Choice for Toughest Opponent

2019 winner Stephen Chidwick makes the shortlist for a third time, while this is the second nod for Alex Foxen. Jason Koon and Isaac Haxton complete the list of crushers.
