Finalists Unveiled for Global Poker Awards Fans Choice Categories

The Global Poker Index (GPI) and The Hendon Mob (THM) have actually released the “last 4” prospects for each of the Global Poker Awards’ Fans Choice classifications. Said classifications are Best Trophy, Fave Livestream (yes, that’s “Fave”), People’s Choice for Poker Personality, and Best Hand.

The last vote in these classifications is open to the general public, with the tally offered on the Global Poker Index’s site. One vote is allowed per individual, IP address, and e-mail address, though anybody who enacted the last round can vote once again in this last round. Surprisingly, vote tallies do not reset; votes in the last round are contributed to previous votes.
