Team PokerStars Pro was also well represented as Jake Cody received the award for "Best Blogger" and Daniel Negreanu was named "Best International Player."
On his "three-peat" achievement, Toby Stone said: “I’m absolutely thrilled and humbled to win this again, but I must pay credit to my hard-working floor and dealer team, without whom none of these events would be possible. They’re among the best in the world and make my job infinitely easier.”
Jake Cody was equally elated after his win: “This was a big surprise and I’m really happy to have won. What makes it even better is that it was a reader’s choice award. To be recognized by the poker fans is amazing.”
