Following a fan vote, the 10 finalists have been disclosed for the 2023 Poker Hall of Fame, and the list of nominees is mostly similar to last year.
Matt Savage, Brian Rast, Mike Matusow, and Kathy Liebert were among the returnees. But only one individual, whether it be a player or industry personnel, will get in this year. The full list of nominees, with a case made for each candidate, is as follows:
Svetlana Gromenkova was all in against a late position player on a flop of J♠Q♠7♣ and the cards were on their backs.
Svetlana Gromenkova: K♠K♥
Late Position Player: Q♦8♦
Gromenkova was ahead with kings, but would need to fade some outs to avoid elimination. She would do so, as the turn K♣ gave her a set and the river J♥ made her a full house, extending her tournament life.
