Poker Hall of Fame 2010: Nominees Revealed
The poll for this year's Poker Hall of Fame is now closed and the top 10 nominees have just been announced. Read more to see who made it past this stage.
As previously reported here, Harrah's opened a public vote where people could nominate their favourites into this year's Poker Hall of Fame.
Ivey and Negreanu amongst the nominees
As expected, the top 10 vote getters were all well-known names from the poker industry. Phil Ivey (pictured right) and Daniel Negreanu, for example, are two of the names that have been nominated by the public.The nominee list will be sent out to the 16 Hall of Fame existing members and 17 poker media representatives on September 13. They will decide which one or two of these nominees will be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
The enshrinement ceremony will be held during the WSOP Main Event final table in November. Last year, Mike Sexton was the latest inductee to the Poker Hall of Fame.
The voting is now closed and the top 10 list is as follows (alphabetical order):
| Poker Hall of Fame 2010 Nominee List |
