The list of Poker Hall of Fame nominees for 2020 induction has been released.
After an open-nomination process was held to identify worthy nominees, a group of 11 individuals is up for consideration, two of those being the pair of World Series of Poker (WSOP) commentators Lon McEachern and Norman Chad. Additionally, many poker players and fans will be happy to see PokerStars founder Isai Scheinberg gracing the ballot for the very first time. Another first-time nominee is high-stakes player Patrik Antonius.
Former nominees returning to the ballot include players Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Chris Ferguson, Ted Forrest, Mike Matusow, and Huck Seed, as well as famed tournament director Matt Savage in the builder category.
