Devilfish Misses Out on Poker Hall of Fame; Mortensen & Brunson Are In

Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott misses out on the Poker Hall of Fame for the second successive year as the voting process prefers Todd Brunson and Carlos Mortensen.

Fans of the late Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott will be disappointed to hear that Todd Brunson and Carlos Mortensen are the newest members of the Poker Hall of Fame.

The general public and the 44-person panel (made up of living Poker Hall of Famers and a Blue Ribbon Media Panel) overlooked Devilfish, who made the cut for the second successive year after his death, and I don’t think we will see him book a spot in the next 10-years.

The time to have inducted him was in the year of his death. Rules wise, it wasn’t the correct thing to do, but it was the honourable thing to do. It was the right thing to do. It was the respectful thing to do.
