PokerNews Podcast Among Nominees for the 5th Annual Gulf Coast Poker Awards

Must read


Caitlin Comeskey, Donovan Dean, Denise Pratt, Wolfgang Poker, and The Lodge YouTube Channel are just some of the nominees across a half dozen categories at the 5th Annual Gulf Coast Poker Awards. The PokerNews Podcast is also nominated for “Content Provider of the Year”, an award they won back in 2020.

The awards were created in 2019 to offer regional recognition to players and industry professionals from the southern part of the United States. This year’s awards will recognize winners in eight categories from a pool of nominations submitted by tournament directors, staff, poker media, and players spanning the region.

“The GCP Awards were designed to recognize achievements and contributions by poker players, industry professionals, and content providers that shine a positive light on poker in the south,” GCP’s Bill Phillips previously told PokerNews. “We wanted to honor the people in the region, the birthplace of poker, who have put together a great year.”

To be eligible nominees must have a connection to the extended Gulf Coast Poker region, which includes the southeastern United States from eastern Texas, up to Arkansas, along Tennessee to North Carolina, and everything south of that.

Here are the awards to be given away during our Poker Gras at Caesar’s New Orleans. Poker Gras is running now through November 10th.
