As the title says. Nothing against the inductees who both seem worthy candidates, but not inducting devilfish is surprising and disappointing, is it not?

Not really.  Outside of the UK he hasn't got anything like the image these types have globally during the boom years of poker.

He will get in, I would expect either next year or the year after.

There will always be a big American bias in these things. Sadly I feel this was his only shot at getting in, as he was massively overlooked when he was alive.

Harman has been nominated so many times it is about time she got in.

Seems like they put a couple of decent candidates in.

Didn't know there was a poker hall of fame.

Couldn't name one other inductee.

Kinda liked ulliot on the telebox, seemed like a boss fella.

Everyone who met him seems to have a story, usually one worth telling. These people also seemed to think he was a boss fella.

Still think he seems like one since I found out there was a hall of fame and he isn't a member.

Guess he'll have to make do with being remembered only in hearts as opposed to in American gimmicks

Does it really matter? I mean if Harman got into it in 2015 then it doesn't seem all that amazing to me.

Why couldn't it have gone to either of these two next year? I don't really get it. American HOF in future.

  Facebook is worse than here by a margin. Surely we shouldn't be demeaning those that got in like this.  Juanda is clearly more deserving.  He has won more and done it recently.  He was also born outside America.  Dare say he fits the word ambassador better than Dave Ulliott too.

There is always a space next to Ivey next year?

i don't think there is any need to say anything adverse about harman and juanda. both worthy inductees

i was personally surprised devilfish didn't go in as well. Did a lot to bring poker to the masses.
