Most would agree that this has been quite an interesting year as far as the selection process goes for the Poker Hall of Fame. For the first time fans were allowed to nominate their favourite players. Tom Dwan was one of the top 10 players nominated, along with some other poker greats including Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Mike Sexton, Tom McEvoy and Barry Greenstein.

Nobody but Mike Sexton made it into the Hall this year which is very interesting because most of Sexton’s accomplishments rest as a promoter instead of a player, but as many will tell you his playing career was impressive too. Sexton was the only one who was able to get 75% of the media and living Hall member vote. Sexton’s playing accomplishments include a total of 46 WSOP cashes to go along with $3.7 million in career winnings, that’s impressive!
