Wait, There is a Poker Hall Of Fame?
This was published 03-06-2009Apparently there is, and it’s currently accepting nominations for the 2009 inductees. This is a public forum, and you are able to not only choose which poker great you think should be inducted this year, but also you get to write 250 words as to WHY you think they deserve the honour. This is the first time that the public will have a say in who gets inducted into the hall of fame.
The top ten nominees will be announced during the main event in July of this year. (This begs the question, why are you writing 250 words as to why you think someone should be nominated but it’s vote volume that counts?)
