Poker Hall of Fame

histoire du poker hall of fame

Le Poker Hall of Fame est situé à l'origine au coeur du casino Binion's Horseshoe à Las Vegas mais depuis le rachat de la marque WSOP c'est maintenant le casino Harrah's qui a cet honneur.

Créé en 1979 par Benny Binion, fondateur des World Series of Poker, le Poker Hall of Fame honore les grands joueurs de poker.

Chaque année aux débuts des World Series of Poker, une liste de joueurs est soumise aux votes d'un comité composé de membres du Hall of Fame et d'organisateurs des WSOP. Seul un ou deux joueurs sont alors désignés pour intégrer le Hall et recevoir ce titre honorifique.

Seul 35 joueurs sont inscrits dans le Poker Hall of Fame et il est rare d'en voir plus d'un par année. Entre 1997 et 2001 personne aucun nouveau joueurs ne fut inscrit au Poker Hall of Fame.

Beaucoup de noms sont inconnus du grand public car il s'agit de joueurs qui ont marqué l'histoire du poker bien avant que celui-ci ne connaisse le succès qu'on lui connait aujourd'hui.

Anecdote du Poker Hall of Fame

Jack Straus et Tom Abdo

Les deux joueurs sont décédés d'une crise cardiaque pendant qu'ils jouaient une partie de High Stakes Poker

Edmund Hoyle

Il n'a jamais joué une partie de poker de sa vie, mais il est le premier joueur de cartes à avoir proposer des règles standards.

Bill Hickrock

Ce joueur était sans doute le plus connu avant la vague actuelle du poker, non pour son niveau de jeu mais par qu'il est mort en jouant avec A8 lui donnant une double paire sur le flop. Il a alors été abattu par 3 balles dans le dos. A8 est donc resté avec ce nom peu enviable de "Deadman's Hand"
