While the Global Poker Awards are the gold standard of convocations in the poker world, several other outlets offer regional recognition such as the newly-formed Gulf Coast Poker Awards, which seeks to honor players and industry professionals from the south who have distinguished themselves over the last 12 months.

From November 7-17 at the Poker Gras tournament at Harrah's New Orleans, GulfCoastPoker.net will recognize winners in eight categories from a pool of nominations submitted by tournament directors, staff, poker media, and players spanning the region. Awards will be given out during Flight B (Friday, November 11th) of the Poker Gras Main Event.

To be eligible nominees must have a connection to the extended Gulf Coast Poker region, which includes the southeastern United States from eastern Texas, up to Arkansas, along Tennessee to North Carolina and everything south of that.

Gulf Coast Poker's Bill Phillips was also recognized but politely declined the nomination.

Nominations were submitted from a panel of poker media, players and industry professionals.

Plans for the Future

The aforementioned Bill Phillips of GulfCoastPoker.net recently spoke with PokerNews about the newly-established awards.

PokerNews: What inspired you to start these awards?

Phillips: This is something we've thought about for a while but never pulled the trigger on. Our website started out as a bit of hobby initially and that has progressed into a side business. Along the way, we've seen some people put together some pretty epic years but they usually are overshadowed by WSOP bracelet winners, WPT champs, high-roller crushers and that very top tier that demands most of the attention. Awards seemed like a natural way to give players in our region a bit of the spotlight.

What is it about poker in the south that separates it from other regions?

New Orleans is the birthplace of poker and this region as a whole quickly adopted the game as it spread outward and up the Mississippi. There is no richer history in poker than in the states we focus on. If you are in the South, you might not know where it is but rest assured you are always close to a poker game.

New Orleans just oozes culture but if you really think about the scale of the game worldwide you could argue poker might be one of the city's most significant contributions. I know that's a grandiose statement especially considering the culture, food, history, and music we are known for and I'm sure locals here might fight me tooth and nail on that, but it's a gigantic global game now. It is everywhere. It's a shame, to put in mildly, that this contribution is forgotten and largely unknown. It certainly isn't appreciated as it should be, even locally.

Speaking of, there's something else we haven't pulled the trigger on but one day maybe we will lead the charge when the timing is right. People talk about a permeant Poker Hall of Fame. We think it should be in New Orleans, maybe in the French Quarter just around the corner from where the game was first dealt in its quasi-modern form. Getting a museum or monument to poker here seems like the perfect fit.
