It is usually a sign that you’ve “made it” in a particular endeavor or activity. If anything has been around for a good length of time, it is likely that it has a Hall of Fame. Not only does poker have one (at least in theory, as it doesn’t have a physical location), individual countries have created their own Hall of Fame for the game. Recently one of those Halls, in Australia, announced the induction of their Class of 2020.

Master of Ceremonies and Australian Poker Hall of Famer Joe Hachem had the honor of inducting both Gilmartin and Burns and he saved some especially kind words for someone who was obviously inspired by his WSOP Championship Event run in 2005. “I’ve been playing with this young man for many years,” Hachem was quoted by PokerNews during the induction ceremonies, “and I can honestly say I’ve given him more bad beats than he’s given me. He plays Pot Limit Omaha, he plays Hold’em, and he travels the world.”
The Australian Poker Hall of Fame is celebrating its 11th anniversary in 2020 and the list of people that Gilmartin and Burns will join in enshrinement is a veritable Who’s Who of the poker world. In addition to Hachem, Jeff Lisandro, Mel Judah, Marsha Waggoner and Lee Nelson have seats in the Australian poker version of Valhalla. The induction ceremonies are held each year in coordination with the Aussie Millions, ensuring that the eyes of the poker world will see who is inducted and receive the kudos they so richly deserve.
