Episode Details

In the 879th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz preview this weekend's 6th Annual Global Poker Awards, which will take place at PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. All three will attend as this very show has been nominated for Podcast of the Year.

The trio offer their thoughts and picks on who they think might win in each category. Will Boris Anzhelov win Breakout Player of the Year or might it be Mark Travis Egbert, Rania Nasreddine, or Noel Rodriguez? Will either Barny Boatman, Daniel Negreanu, Stephen Song, or Scott Stewart take the trophy for Best Final Table Performance? Which piece of hardware will win for the Best Original Trophy?

Likewise, what industry professionals will be recognized as Industry Person of the Year, Best Tournament Director, and Best Director of Poker Operation? Other categories include Best Event, Best Mid-Major Tour/Circuit, and Best On-Air Talent, just to name a few.
