Mike Sexton and Phil Ivey Likeliest Next Poker Hall of Famers, Say Some
Daniel Negreanu is one of the finalists on the short list of nominees for induction into the esteemed Poker Hall of Fame, but if he had his vote, he says, he would not be voting for himself. Instead, Negreanu endorses fellow nominee Mike Sexton for this year’s honor. It is feasible both could win, however, as there is expected to be 2 or 3 names mentioned when the inductees are announced sometime during the play of the final table at the 2009 World Series of Poker come November.
Interestingly enough, another person eligible for one of those select few spots is also eligible for a spot on the revered Wall of Fame at Binions Casino displaying the winners of each year’s WSOP main event. As one of this year’s November Nine and one of this year’s Poker Hall of Fame nominees, 2009 could conceivably land Phil Ivey in more than just poker history but several record books as well.
