Poker Hall of Fame Inducts Jennifer Harman and John Juanda
The Poker Hall of Fame added two new names to its esteemed roster in November 2015. After a vote by the Hall's jury, Jennifer Harman and John Juanda were chosen to join the ranks of poker legends.
The induction ceremony for both standout players will take place at Binion's Casino, an iconic establishment in Las Vegas often referred to as the birthplace of poker. The casino will be hosting the event on November 6, a week before the final table of the WSOP Main Event that will be held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino from November 8 to 10.
Ty Stewart, chairman of the Poker Hall of Fame board, commended the new inductees, saying, "We congratulate Jennifer Harman and John Juanda on their well-deserved induction into the Poker Hall of Fame. Both are highly respected players who have significantly contributed to the growth and popularity of the game."
