• Poker Hall Of Fame Nominations List

The nominations generally open at the start of June, roughly in concert with the beginning of the summer’s World Series of Poker, and remain open for about two months. Visitors can nominate multiple players, industry professionals and so on, but can do the nominating process only once per e-mail address, as is proper. The main criteria for the Poker Hall of Fame are as follows: A player must have played poker against acknowledged top competition; Be a minimum of 40 years old at time of nomination; Played for high stakes; Played consistently well, gaining the respect of peers; Stood the test of time; Or, for non-players, contributed to the overall growth and success of the game of poker, with indelible positive and lasting results.

1. On Sunday, June 23, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) announced the ten finalists for the 2019 Poker Hall of Fame class and over half of these nominees will be inducted to the ranks of the Hall of Fame this year.
2. (PRESS RELEASE) - After a public nomination process and a vetting of nominations by the PHOF Governing Council, the finalists list eligible for induction into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2017 has been determined. It will now be up to the current 27-member Hall of Famers and an 18-person blue ribbon panel of media members to determine who actually.
3. Poker Hall of Fame nominations open Moneymaker vs Ivey in 2003. You can now vote to put names forward for the 2016 Poker Hall of Fame, which as always will take place just before the WSOP Main Event final table. The criteria is as follows. A player must have played poker against acknowledged top.
4. A panel of 30 living Poker Hall of Fame and a select group of 21 industry experts are set to cast their votes before July 8th with up to two of the nominees being inducted into poker’s history books before the 2019 WSOP Main Event shuffles up and deals for the first time.
5. Jan 20, 2016  Nominations are currently being taken for this year’s Women in Poker Hall of Fame (WiPHoF), with a voting panel accepting suggestions until.

Another rite of summer is upon the poker world: Public nominations are now open for the 2018 enshrinement edition of the Poker Hall of Fame (PHOF). This year’s nomination process is much the same as in recent years, when anyone with a love for poker and its people can visit the nomination page (http://www.wsop.com/phof/) and offer his or her take on the ceremonial recognition.

The nominations generally open at the start of June, roughly in concert with the beginning of the summer’s World Series of Poker, and remain open for about two months. Visitors can nominate multiple players, industry professionals and so on, but can do the nominating process only once per e-mail address, as is proper.

The Poker Hall of Fame is owned and operated by Caesars and is run through the World Series of Poker’s operational framework. Caesars (then Harrah’s) acquired the PHOF from the old Binion’s Horseshoe in the same 2004 deal that saw the WSOP change new corporate owners. The PHOF has since stabilized and standardized its nomination and election processes, generally enshrining two new honorees each year.

If you’re interesting in nominating someone for possible enshrinement, these are the rules for any nominee’s potential eligibility:

• A player must have played poker against acknowledged top competition
• Played for high stakes
• Be a minimum of 40 years old at time of nomination
• Played consistently well, gaining the respect of peers
• Stood the test of time
• Or, for non-players, contributed to the overall growth and success of the game of poker, with indelible positive and lasting results.

Last year’s PHOF class consisted of Phil Ivey (who has returned to play at the 2018 WSOP after several years’ absence) and the late David “Devilfish” Ulliott. The enshriment of Ivey and Ulliott swelled the PHOF’s ranks to 54, with the complete ranks of the Hall including these individuals, sorted by year of enshrinement (most recent first):

2017 Phil Ivey, David Ulliott

2016 Todd Brunson, Carlos Mortensen

2015 Jennifer Harman, John Juanda

2014 Jack McClelland, Daniel Negreanu

2013 Tom McEvoy, Scotty Nguyen

2012 Eric Drache, Brian “Sailor” Roberts

2011 Barry Greenstein, Linda Johnson

2010 Dan Harrington, Erik Seidel

2009 Mike Sexton

2008 Henry Orenstein, Duane “Dewey” Tomko

2007 Barbara Enright, Phil Hellmuth

2006 Billy Baxter, T.J. Cloutier

2005 Crandell Addington, Jack Binion

2004 Berry Johnston

2003 Bobby Baldwin

2002 Lyle Berman, Johnny Chan

2001 Stu “The Kid” Ungar

1997 Roger Moore

1996 Julius Oral “Little Man” Popwell

1993 Jack Keller

1992 Thomas Austin “Amarillo Slim” Preston

1991 David “Chip” Reese

1990 Benny Binion

1989 Fred “Sarge” Ferris

1988 Doyle Brunson, Jack “Treetop” Straus

1987 Walter Clyde “Puggy” Pearson

1986 Henry Green

1985 Red Hodges

1984 Murph Harrold

1983 Joe Bernstein

1982 Tom Abdo

1981 Bill Boyd

1980 T “Blondie” Forbes

1979 Nick “The Greek” Dandolos, James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok, Edmond Hoyle, Felton “Corky” McCorquodale, Johnny Moss, Red Winn, Sid Wyman

Following the two-month public nomination process, the top 10 nominees are reviewed by the Hall of Fame’s election committe, with the bottom one or two generally supplanted by deserving industry members whose contributions to the game often go under-recognized by the playing community.

From there it’s on to the voting process, which is done by the PHOF’s 25 living enshrinees plus a slightly smaller “blue ribbon” panel of media members, all of whom have 10 ballots to bestow upon one or several of the nominees. Current PHOF online documentation notes that the year’s enshrinenees will be feted in November in conjunction with the WSOP Main Event’s “November Nine”, though the November Nine itself is no more, and that reference will surely be updated shortly. In any event, expect this year’s honorees to be announced in September and to be honored at a ceremony in October or November.
