Speaking on the nomination process, World Series of Poker (WSOP) Communications Director Seth Palansky told Poker News Daily, “It’s going well and we’ll have a good batch of candidates to mull over and see who gets in.”

The induction ceremony will take place during the November Nine weekend at the Rio in Las Vegas. Always the grand affair last year’s ceremony attracted more than 100 attendees and featured speeches from such top pros as Jack Binion, Tom McEvoy, T.J. Cloutier, and Mike Sexton.
