The regional Gulf Coast Poker Awards has announced its list of finalists for consideration in the third edition of the regional poker honors, which highlight outstanding poker achievement in the United States' extended Gulf Coast Poker region. The awards, which were founded in 2019 and are affiliated with GulfCoastPoker.net and its regional Gulf Coast Poker Tour, return after a single year's pandemic-related hiatus with a lead-up toward a ceremony at Harrah's, New Orleans on Friday, September 30th.
Gulf Coast Poker Awards organizer Bill Phillips released the list of finalists after receiving dozens of nominations of worthy candidates in several categories, including Love of Poker, Player of the Year, Industry Professional, Female Player of the Year, Content Provider, Senior of the Year, and the Gulf Coast Poker Tour POY.
The nominations are made by a large number of industry professionals familiar with poker offerings throughout the extended Gulf Coast region, which includes much of the U.S.'s traditional Old South. Once the leading nominees are determined, the industry professionals then vote to determine the winners.
Here are the finalists in all seven categories for the 2022 Gulf Coast Poker Awards:
