2009 Nominees

Barry Greenstein
Dan Harrington
Tom McEvoy
Men Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen
Daniel Negreanu
Erik Seidel
Mike Sexton
Phil Ivey
Tom Dwan

Tom Dwan obviously has no chance (too new), and Phil Ivey very little chance (too young). The favorite might possible be Erik Seidel due to his number of WSOP bracelets (8), the highest number of anyone not already in the Poker Hall of Fame. Scotty could also be up there as he’s won the Main Event and the 50K HORSE, but more likely rivals to Seidel are the older guys like McEvoy and Harrington who have been influencial on the poker scene for a very long time.
