The 2020 Poker Hall of Fame inductee — just one this year — will be announced Dec. 30 in Las Vegas. We don’t know who that lucky winner will be. But we do have a list of five individuals who all have a unique case for joining the prestigious club.

As of today, fans can nominate their own candidate on the WSOP.com website. On Dec. 16, Caesars will announce a finalist list based on the fan nominations. And then on Dec. 30, during the WSOP Main Event final table, the winner will be revealed.

We aren’t here to tell you who you should nominate or who the 32-member panel should choose. Instead, the purpose of this article is to inform the voters — including the random poker fans — of some candidates who may otherwise be overlooked.
