Three small barrels of value including an update on the American Poker Awards; Prominence Poker moves onto Steam, and PokerStars removes the fold button.

The third iteration of the Global Poker Index (GPI) American Poker Awards (APA) will take place Feb 23, 2017, at the Sofitel in Beverly Hills, California.

Global Poker League (GPL) sponsor PokerStars will also sponsor the three-hour award ceremony. The event will start at 7 pm with a cocktail reception followed by pigs in blankets served at 8 pm.

888Poker Ambassador, Kara Scott, will make sure everything runs to order. The categories and shortlists are a secret for now. Keep an eye on www.americanpokerawards.com for the updates.
