The PokerOrg crew in the running for a Global Poker Award

Here are the hardworking PokerOrg homies we’ll be rooting for.

The PokerOrg nominees are…

Caitlin Comeskey

Caitlin’s knack for nailing the latest trend, story or scandal in the poker world makes her videos a must-watch, and have seen her nominated for Best X Personality, Best Short-Form Content Creator, Best Short-Form Video and Most Entertaining Player.

And we couldn’t big up Caitlin without tipping the hat to her hardworking European colleague, Elyanna.

Nikki Limo

Another nominee for Best Short-Form Content Creator and Best Short-Form Video, Nikki not only knows exactly how to make us laugh, but also introduced us to the strategic implications of a flop containing "two backnuts and a wheelbarrow shark."

Abby Merk

Nominated in two categories - Rising Star in Content Creation and Best Short-Form Video - Abby’s work has always made us look good (even when she makes us look bad).

Lex Veldhuis

Pro player Lex has always shown how fun poker can be, whether through his appearances in live shows such as the PokerStars Big Game, or on his wildly successful poker streams on Twitch, where he has over 300K subscribers and a nomination for Best Streamer. As a member of the PokerOrg Player Advisory Board, Lex helps us to understand the real-world experiences of players around the globe.

Jeremy Ausmus

Another member of our Player Advisory Board, Jeremy has already locked up his Global Poker Award with an incredible victory in one of the toughest categories there is: PGT Player of the Year.

Seth Moeller

Our guy Sethy is nominated in the Most Entertaining Player category, and it’s well deserved. Here’s a quick comp that takes in everything from playing pocket aces (everyone folds) to check-raising with 7-2 offsuit and winning… kind of.

Corey Eyring

Nominated for Best Vlogger, Corey brings poker to life in ways that really resonate with players - sometimes a little too much. His videos showcase the good, the bad and the ugly of a poker lifestyle, one card at a time, but always make us smile.

Paul Oresteen

Poker stories can be fun, fascinating, weird, or downright silly. They can also be revealing, meaningful, and tell us something new about ourselves and the world around us. Paul’s knack for finding and exploring the human dimension in any poker story has landed him a much-deserved nomination in the Best Written Content category for this up-close-and-personal piece about poker pro Ari Engel, and when difficult personal circumstances overshadow the thrill of a tournament victory.

Sarah Herring

Our Head of Instant Media, also known as Aunty Chardonnay, already has a Global Poker Award for the mantelpiece as 2018’s Poker Journalist of the Year. Now she’s back for more with another nomination in the same category. As the face of PokerOrg’s The Showdown, and much more besides, Sarah puts in the work needed to take this one down. We’d call this one a slam dunk if it wasn’t for…

Brad Willis

Our Editor-in-Chief is also in the running for Best Journalist, ensuring PokerOrg takes up 50% of the field in this category. If there’s anything Brad doesn’t know about the game of poker - or the game-within-a-game of showcasing poker in the best way possible - you can be sure it’s not worth knowing to begin with. One thing’s for sure: he’d be a deserving winner and a gracious runner-up… so long as Sarah gets the win.

Just kidding; we know that everyone nominated in this year’s awards deserves to be there and is working to make this game even greater, just like we are.
