Non-Brits Getting Recognition at 2011 European Poker Awards

The 2011 European Poker Awards ceremony took place in Paris on Sunday evening. British interest in poker gaming is accentuated as Brits were featured strongly in the line-up of winners.

Although it is irrefutable, British presence was certainly felt among the award winners, it has to be said that some of the awards were presented to the non Brits as well.

The title of “Internet Player of the Year” was received by Andreas Torbergsen, hailing from Norway, after winnings of an approximate $4 milli on online.

“Poker Personality of the Year” went to Tony G, after a variety of poker related adventures during 2010, including making a bid for Peter Eastgate’s WSOP bracelet to create a dog collar.

The title “Poker Staff Person of the Year” went to Gerard Serra Retamero of TK Events and was apparently awarded due to his efforts and uphill struggle behind the scenes at the EPT Tour and also at the Spanish Poker Tour.
