This year, the European Poker Awards will take place in Paris at the Aviation Club de France. Team PKR’s Jake Cody has been nominated in two important categories – the Player of the Year and the Best Tournament Performance. Cody has been the bracelet winner of the World Series of Poker (WSOP). The player will face stiff competition from other eminent professionals like Sam Trickett. A specialist in high-stakes games, Trickett has been nominated in the same categories as Cody, who recently joined Team PKR Pro.
Players can play against Cody at PKR if they join the poker site. For this, they will have to download the software and make a deposit. A PKR bonus code will have to be used when making the deposit. In addition to Cody and Trickett, Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, the triple crown winner, Pius Heinz, winner of WSOP last year and Russian player Andrey Pateychuck have also been nominated in the category of the ‘Player of the Year’.
Winners to be Selected by Poker Industry Experts
The award ceremony will take place on January 25th. It will be hosted by the secretary of the European Poker Players Association (EPPA), Nic Szeremeta. The European Poker Awards will run simultaneously with the Euro Finals of Poker. A panel consisting of experts from the world of online poker will select the winners. The panel will include, Szeremeta, the awards honorary president; Juha Helppi, an eminent poker star from Finland; well-known poker pro Kara Scott; and media members such as Jerome Schmidt and Barry Carter.
Chris ‘Moorman1’ Moorman also Nominated for Internet Player of the Year
Another well-known poker pro to have been nominated for the Internet Player of the Year is Chris Moorman. He doesn’t have a great chance to win the award as the other nominees in the category have better achievements to boast of. He will face stiff competition from the Irish player, Jude Ainsworth of team PokerStars and the Swedish player, Viktor Blom. In addition, Sam Holden is also in contention for the award. He has been the winner of Late Night Poker. The player made a 9th place finish at the WSOP November Nine where he collected $782,115.
In the award category for Europe’s Leading Lady, two British women have been nominated. They are Liv Boeree and Vicky Coren from team PokerStars.
