Yesterday, the Poker Hall of Fame Governing Council announced the two newest members of the Poker Hall of Fame, WPT Champion Scotty Nguyen and poker pro Tom McEvoy. The two poker legends were nominated by the public and voted in by a 37-person panel made up of existing Poker Hall of Famers and members of the poker media.
The other finalists who were nominated consist of a who’s who of poker’s elite: Humberto Brenes, Chris Bjorin, David Chiu, Thor Hansen, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Carlos Mortensen and Huck Seed. All are still eligible for future induction.
McEvoy and Nguyen will be inducted officially on Sunday, November 3 at 5:00 pm at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas a day before the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event final table gets underway.
Congrats again to Scotty and Tom, we look forward to seeing them both at a WPT final table
