In an interview with PokerNews, actor James Woods made a passioned plea for the Poker Hall of Fame to induct his longtime friend, "Miami" John Cernuto.
It's that time of year again for the poker community to begin discussions about who should be the next to reach poker's most elite club. The WSOP Poker Hall of Fame will begin taking fan nominations for the one-person Class of 2024 next month, and then the living members of the HOF will vote on a winner based on the top fan vote getters.

Despite almost losing half his stack, Patrick Kennedy has turned the tides in his duel with Michael Steele and dragged in another pot to create some distance between them.
Kennedy opened to 6,000 from the button and was called. Steele then led out for 16,000 on the 9♣8♥6♦ flop and was called before the A♦ turn checked through to the 10♠ river.
Steele check-called for 15,000 and mucked when Kennedy turned over his his Q♥J♣, which was good for a straight.
Kennedy and Steele have probably played the most hands so far today and are playing at a frenetic pace.

On a wet board of J♣8♦9♣K♣, and 65,000 in the middle, Cary Katz led out with a bet of 50,000 and Artur Martirosian called.
The river brought the 8♥ and Katz fired out another bet, this time for 165,000. Martirosian used two time bank cards before eventually tossing his cards into the muck.
It is proving to be a back and forth match between the two early on.

The match-up between Weston Mizumoto and John Smith offers an interesting dynamic, with Mizumoto being many years younger than the veteran.
Mizumoto asked Smith about his history in the event and was in awe as Smith reeled off his Heads-Up record.
Through the polite discourse, they tangled in a hand, that saw Smith take a small lead.
Smith opened to 6,500 from the button and was called. Mizimoto check-called for 7,000 on the 8♣5♠5♦ flop before folding to a bet of 10,000 on the 7♥ turn.
On a nearby table is the duel between Sam Soverel and Faraz Jaka. It appears the match has been back and forth in the early goings, with stacks looking even.
