The Best Event of the Year Goes to...
Winner: Full Tilt Poker UKIPT Galway Festival
PokerNews had a front row seat for this one as Full Tilt Poker laid on a festival from July 27-August 12, 2013 that was about so much more than the poker. A poker village was constructed in the heart of Galway and included a pool table, arcade machines and more. Players were also treated to trips to the races and the tournaments weren't all about poker, with bridge just one of the games that players could try their hand at.
UKIPT President Kirsty Thompson took to the stage to collect the award and dedicated it to Rob Gardner, John Duthie and Jesse and Mickey May who've just had their first child.
Nominated: EPT Barcelona, EPT Grand Final Monte Carlo, and Prague Poker Festival.
Past winners include: EPT Barcelona (2012), WSOP Europe Cannes (2011)
