Today WSOP.com published the list of nominees for this year’s Poker Hall of Fame.

This is the list of the finalists (in alphabetical order):

CHRIS BJORIN

DAVID CHIU

BRUNO FITOUSSI

JENNIFER HARMAN

JOHN JUANDA

CARLOS MORTENSEN

MAX PESCATORI

TERRY ROGERS

MATT SAVAGE

DAVID “DEVILFISH” ULLIOTT

So many of these people deserve to be included in The Poker Hall of Fame, but for me it is 4 that have a better chance then the others to get the highest number of votes:



Chris Bjorin – Nobody on this list deserves more respect! He is a player as solid as anyone, and he is a gentleman among gentlemen. He has about a million WSOP cashes and still kicks ass whenever he plays!

John Juanda – Arguably the best player on this list. He just recently won the EPT in Barcelona to become a Triple Crown member. As Bjorin, Juanda is very much respected among his peers.

Matt Savage – A good player, but Matt is much more known for being one of, if not, the best tournament directors in the poker world. He works for the poker world to become better and he is not afraid to try new things. He also listens to most players, including Allan Kessler! That alone should be a reason to welcome him to Poker Hall of Fame!

Devilfish – RIP, sir! One of the most recognized players in the world for decades and a man you wanted at your table for entertainment value more than anything else. A very good players and a character that will be missed!

Personally I would like to see Chris Bjorin in, but I don’t think he will get enough votes. I think Devilfish will get the highest number of votes, and that the race between John Juanda and Matt Savage will be very close. In the end I think Matt will be the one to join Devilfish in the good company.

(There is a small chance only one person will be picked, but I don’t think that will happen)
