Each year, the poker community is awarded the most influential personalities: bloggers, journalists, players, tournament directors and so on. February 22 will be the award ceremony of the American Poker Awards, and the list of nominees has already been published online.

A jury of 102 people will decide who to give the main awards to the American Poker Awards in 2017. Figurines will be presented in the categories "Breakthrough of the Year", "The Best of the Year", "The Best Tournament of the Year", as well as the most popular bloggers, content creators, tournament commentators and so on.

Among the little-known names that occur in a variety of nominations, attention was drawn to Douglas Polk, who is nominated in several categories at once:

📍 "The best video blogger" - his channel Doug Polk Poker on YouTube has more than 100,000 subscribers and collects many views.
📍 "The most influential person in poker" - seriously, that's exactly what they wrote. What is specifically meant by this is unknown.
📍 "Best Tournament of the Year" - WCGRider won the wsop One Drop High Roller tournament and received $ 3.6 million in prize money.

In addition to the Polk, the PokerCentral channel also featured in the list of nominees, which included four nominations: the best moment of the year 2017 (the return of Tom Dwan to the US and the game on the air), the best tournament of 2017 (Super High Roller Bowl and Poker Masters Event # 1), the best podcast and the most influential person in poker (Carey Katz, owner of PokerCentral).

Of course, every year some well-known personalities get nominations:
-Daniel Negreanu
-Jo Ingram
-Matt Savage (WSOP Tournament Director)

By the way, it is already known who will lose the title of "Player of the Year" American Poker Awards 2017. According to the results of the GPI rating, the best among men was Bryn Kenny, and among women - Kristen Biknell.
