Poker News: Hectic Competition for Bluff Magazine Title Among Online Poker Rooms

The awards, which are the only ones of their kind, have been voted for by the fans of poker rather than those within the industry, and have incorporated a variety of categories. One of the most sought after awards was the contentious battle for the top online poker room award, which was keenly fought out between Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker.

Bluff Magazine, America’s leading poker magazine, has announced the winners of its 2006 Readers’ Choice Awards in its January issue which is now available at newsstands, with online poker rooms PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker battling for the top online poker room honour.

Bluff Magazine Co-President Eric Morris remarked, “Bluff Magazine continues to be the voice of the poker player and fan worldwide. Now poker players have an equivalent to television’s People’s Choice Awards. The Bluff Readers’ Choice Awards are a true testament to the companies and players who receive the various accolades as ‘the best of the best’ in more than 20 different poker categories.”

The full list of winners and nominees can be found in the January issue of Bluff magazine, which is out now.

In addition to the Best Poker Room category, poker enthusiasts from around the world had the chance to cast their vote on a variety of categories including: Most Entertaining Poker Player to Watch, Best Brick-and-Mortar Poker Room and Best Poker Analyst.
