Hall of Fame of professional poker

The Poker Hall of Fame is the hall of fame of professional poker in the United States. Founded in Las Vegas, it was created in 1979 by Benny Binion, the owner of the Horseshoe Casino, to preserve the names and legacies of the world's greatest poker players and to serve as a tourist attraction to his casino. Binion was known for the creative ways in which he marketed his casino. In 1949, he convinced Johnny Moss and Nick "The Greek" Dandolos to play high stakes poker heads up where the public could watch them. As of 2024, 61 people have been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, 30 of whom are still living.

Admission into the Poker Hall of Fame is considered one of the greatest honors in poker. In his acceptance speech, T. J. Cloutier declared, "It's one of two things I've always wanted to win." Barbara Enright, the first woman inducted into the Hall, considers her induction to be a "lifetime achievement honor." Before being acquired by Harrah's Casino, R. S. Owens & Company was commissioned to design an award for Poker Hall of Famers. The award was an eight inch tall piece of glass with a hand of cards sandblasted at the bottom, the winner's name, and the words "Poker Hall of Fame" in a circle. The circle had a gold emblem bonded to the glass and had the Binion's Horseshoe Casino logo in it. There was a gold plated base with three gold plated stacks of chips.

Binion then asked who the second best player was, and Johnny Moss won. 1979 † Nick the Greek $0 None According to poker lore, in the summer of 1949, in Nevada, Nick the Greek and Johnny Moss played in a five month long poker marathon at Binion's Horseshoe Casino. Nick the Greek reportedly lost about $2 million to Moss and on losing the final hand stood up and said, "Mr. Moss, I have to let you go." This heads up match, which became a tourist attraction, is often cited as the earliest inspiration behind the World Series of Poker. — 1979 Corky $0 None McCorquodale is credited with introducing the game of Texas Hold'em to Las Vegas in 1963. — 1979 † $0 None — — 1979 † $0 None Wyman was a noted poker player and owner of several Vegas casinos: Sands, Riviera, Royal Nevada and The Dunes. 1979 †Wild Bill Hickok $0 None Hickok was one of the best known poker players in the world before the 20th century.

At one point, Straus had one chip remaining, and came back to win. This victory is considered to be the origin of the poker saying, "A chip and a chair", meaning that as long as a player has not been eliminated from the tournament, he or she still has a chance. Modern lore indicates that this happened at the final table, but the 1983 book The Biggest Game in Town implies this occurred on the first day of the tournament.
