Jake Cody was the biggest winner of this year the British Poker rewards, he captured the best player of the tournament and the player of the year awards as well. The ceremony was held as the pinnacle of the 2011 Poker in the Park festival in London. As we announced, the British Poker Awards was held for the second time this year; prizes were awarded in 15 categories disctinct. Richard Ashby scored the most nominations, namely for the best Cash Game player, the best Online player, the best mixed game player and the best player of the PLO. However, Jake Cody managed to take most of the trophies, for the player of the year and the best player of the tournament.
It is not at all surprising that Jake Cody received the most votes (such as the awards were mostly open to public vote), he won the EPT, WPT and WSOP title last year ($ 25,000 NLHE-heads-up Championship, $ 851.192), completion of his first Triple Crown.
Ashby could take a award home, he was elected the best mixed game player of the year, but Sam Trickett, Vicky Coren, Chris Moorman and Neil Channing were also honored.
