Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold 'em

After Scott Bohlman raised off his short stack in middle position, he got three callers in the form of Brandon Shack-Harris on the button, Paul Volpe in the small blind, and David Funkhouser in the big blind.

The flop came K♥8♦5♠ and action checked to Shack-Harris who bet. Volpe called and Funkhouser then raised.

Bohlman folded his hand, and Shack-Harris then three-bet his hand which got a fold from Volpe but Funkhouser stuck around.

The turn brought the 5♥ and after a check from Funkhouser, Shack-Harris bet again. Funkhouser now came with the check-raise and Shack-Harris called.

The river was the K♣, double-pairing the board, and after another check from Funkhouser, Shack-Harris bet. Funkhouser rubbed his hands over his face, pained by the developments on the river.

Ultimately he tossed a call over to Shack-Harris who showed K♦Q♦ and said "I got lucky, as the pot was pushed his way."

Negreanu Proposes Changes to the Poker Hall of Fame Induction Process

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Connor Richards

Level 14 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

With its ever-growing backlog of deserving players and industry professionals waiting for their time to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, some players are calling for changes to the nomination and induction process.

One of those players is Daniel Negreanu, poker's biggest ambassador and himself a member of the Poker Hall of Fame who was inducted in 2014. Negreanu has long called for overhauls to the Poker Hall of Fame nomination process and renewed his calls this week on his daily vlog during the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).

"How I would fix the Hall of Fame is this: every single year, two players get in — players, not contributors," Negreanu told his vlog viewers. "Every single year, two players get in. Every third year ... we add an additional third person who is a contributor to the game. That would be the Isai Scheinbergs and the Matt Savages of the world. Every three years, one of them would get in. That way, we don't have to constantly compare apples to oranges."
