Calling the Clock: Poker Hall Fame Fight, EPT Grand Final Buy-in Brouhaha and More

Lee Davy captures the week’s poker headlines including a storm concerning the Poker Hall of Fame, complaints about the reduction in European Poker Tour (EPT) Grand Final buy-in, and much more.

The Poker Hall of Fame (PHOF) Class of 2015 is known and spears tipped with xenophobic poison are currently being thrown around the Internet. Whether one of the them lands in the ass of someone who can propose radical changes to the existing process remains to be seen.

The two newest additions are multiple World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winners Jennifer Harman and John Juanda. Despite Juanda being Indonesian by birth, he is being branded as a North American along with the other 50 members of what one respected member of our little bubble called ‘Madame Tussaud’s of US Poker.’

John Duthie created that cool brand during an exclusive op-ed penned for PokerNews this week. The EPT founder was angry that once again international players failed to make the cut. Joe Beevers went one step further by creating his very own PHOF on his personal blog. There is currently one incumbent: the late Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot.
