A 3ª edição dos Global Poker Awards foi realizada ontem no PokerGO Studio no Aria Resort & Casino e há um vencedor acima de todos os outros: Ali Imsirovic. O bósnio já tinha dois garantidos após o fenomenal ano de 2021 e recebeu um dos talvez mais cobiçados, o de mais duro adversário para o GPI.

Devido à pandemia Covid-19, a cerimónia dos Global Poker Awards não se concretizou em 2021, mas com a realização de vários festivais de poker ao vivo em todo o mundo, incluindo as World Series of Poker e as World Series of Poker Europe, o evento regressa para galardoar os melhores do ano no que diz respeito ao poker.

A terceira edição dos Global Poker Awards deu a conhecer os nomeados em 18 categorias e revelou as quatro categorias que já conheciam os respectivos vencedores. Ali Imsirovic subiu três vezes ao palco para receber o GPI Player of the Year 2021, o PokerGO Tour Player of the Year e ainda o pisa-papeis de "oponente mais difícil" nas mesas. Os outros troféus que já tinham dono:

- Charitable Initiative: Veronica Brill
- GPI Award of Merit: Maria Konnikova
- GPI Female PoY: Nadya Magnus
- GPI Mid Major PoY: David Mzareulov
- GPI PoY Ali Imsorovic
- PokerGO Tour POY: Ali Imsirovic
- Poker ICON: Mike Sexton
- THM Award: Kevin Mathers
