World Series of Poker officials have officially opened the voting process for the 2016 Poker Hall of Fame, and that means the annual xenophobic debate begins in earnest.

The nomination process for the 2016 Poker Hall of Fame has started suggesting it’s time for non-American poker enthusiasts to start their annual complaint process regarding the lack of non-Americans handed the highest honour bestowed in poker.

The main cat calls generally come from European mouths. The Poker Hall of Fame has enshrined 50 members since Benny Binion created it in 1979 and none of them are of European descent.

Last year, cries of xenophobic attitudes reached fever pitch after the late Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott missed out and American citizens John Juanda and Jennifer Harman got in.
