The voting process is a bit of a mystery \u2013 we don\u2019t know exactly how it works, other than who will be voting. In years past, each Hall of Fame member received ten votes which they could distribute as they saw fit. All ten could go to one nominee, one vote could go to each, or any combination in between. The WSOP has not said exactly how it works this year.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 Poker Hall of Fame inductee will be announced on July 11, before the start of WSOP Event #92: $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold\u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\/2025\/06\/18\/wsop-announces-the-ten-finalists-for-2025-poker-hall-of-fame\/\">WSOP Announces the Ten Finalists for 2025 Poker Hall of Fame<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\">Vegas Slots Online News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post WSOP Announces the Ten Finalists for 2025 Poker Hall of Fame appeared first on Vegas Slots Online News.
