In 1979, Benny Binion, the owner of the Horseshoe Casino, created the Poker Hall Of Fame to preserve the names and legacies of the world's greatest poker players.

The project exists only in my head, but maybe one day we will all play there through a no deposit bonus from the BRM

PartyPoker made some propaganda to get players to vote on Mike.

But I think he has no chance against Ivey, too popular and did a very good WSOP this year, so almost no chance he will lose this one.

Ivey has more fan-following and more achievements than mike but he's very young to be in hall of fame, so i think mike will get it. maybe he can get it 10 yrs from now

I think that Daniel Negreanu deserves for this title. He and Phil Ivy are the best in the world for me but "the reads" that Daniel makes are just not to beat. He's THE MAN!
WOW.. 37 players are in that Hall of Fame.. And only 15are alive. Congratulations everyone and good luck to Phill Ivey to fastly get into that Poker Hall of Fame.
