This year's nominees for the Poker Hall of Fame have been announced, with the eight individuals now heading to the living members of the Hall for voting.
Each member can vote for up to four nominees, and anyone receiving votes from 22 or more members earns an automatic induction. This change, from a previous "winner-takes-all" format allowing for only one induction per year, was announced earlier this month.
Five of the eight nominees are first-time nominees, having met the minimum age requirement of 40. Eight-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb headlines these players; he is joined by Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton, Chris Moorman, and Justin Bonomo.
Sergey Dadonkin opened to 175,000 from the cutoff. Vitalii Li in the small blind three-bet all-in for roughly 400,000 and Dadonkin called.
Vitalii Li: K♣Q♥
Sergey Dadonkin: A♠A♥
The board ran out 6♣10♣8♥4♠K♠ and Li was eliminated.
Cards went on their backs with Jeffrey Engmann all-in and at risk from middle position against Shachar Haran, who was seated two seats to his left.
Jeffrey Engmann: A♦K♥
Shachar Haran: A♣K♣
Haran found a flush draw on 9♣4♥5♣, and the 2♣7♣ runout completed this flush to send Engmann to the rail.
The hand was picked up with Stephen Decker all in for 310,000 in middle position.
Ronnie Day raised almost all in, holding onto a 5,000 chip from his 545,000 stack. Rute Jin made the call.
When the hit J♣7♥10♣, Day flipped in his last chip, and Jin made the call.
Stephen Decker: Q♣10♦
Ronnie Day: 6♣6♦
Rute Jin: K♥Q♦
Decker flopped a pair of tens, and Jin had an open-ended straight draw.
The turn and river combo 4♦2♣ didn't bring major change, and Decker picked up the triple-up. Day won the side pot with his sixes to stay in the event.
