Women in Poker Hall of Fame to Induct New Members

On June 5th, the Women in Poker Hall of Fame will be inducting new members. The event will take place at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, Nevada and many celebrated poker players are expected to attend and be inducted.

The names of the special women to be inducted into the Hall of Fame will be announced on April 1st. Women who are already in the Women in Poker Hall of Fame can nominate a woman to be added. Each woman nominated must fit a certain criteria.

According to the Women in Poker Hall of Fame website, nominees must have been active as a player or industry leader for a minimum of fifteen years prior to being nominated. A player/industry leader must have contributed to the world of poker in a significant way. This qualifies as winning a major poker tournament or by making a significant contribution to the poker industry. Lastly a player/industry leader must be a proponent of women’s poker. Even if she does not play in the events she must support them.

It will be exciting to see who is nominated. This is an extreme honor for any woman in the poker industry and it is great that those who have contributed are honored.
