Key Takeaways
- The first American Poker Awards have now been awarded, and the associated one day American Poker Conference has ended its final presentation.
- The two events are the brainchild of GPI owner Alex Dreyfus who wanted to create an occasion that would help bring the industry together to work cooperatively to promote the game.
- The award categories were telling in themselves—they were not divisive such as Best Operator or Best Poker Room awards that imply that any one sector of the business is better than another—they all celebrated specific achievements, in line with Dreyfus desire to bring the industry together and move it forwards.
