The Women in Poker Hall of Fame (WiPHoF) has now announced its eight candidates to enter the Class of 2024 – and there are some stellar names on the list.
Here are the 2024 nominees in full:
- Kristen Bicknell Foxen
- Liv Boeree
- Jeanne David
- Jamie Kerstetter
- Kara Scott
- Rebecca McAdam Willetts
- Annette Obrestad
- Jennifer Shahade
Former WSOP and EPT champion Liv Boeree stands out as a fan favorite, especially given her charity work co-founding Raising for Effective Giving. Bluffing is in her blood, as you can see from this 2007 clip from a British TV show called Golden Balls, filmed in between flexing her skills at the best poker sites in the UK.
Kara Scott is another strong contender. She’s been an ever-present on our screens since 2005, commenting on the biggest poker events, from the WSOP Main Event on ESPN to the European Poker Tour.
The 888poker ambassador also co-hosts a poker podcast, On The Rail, and has had some success at the tables. This includes a deep run in the WSOP Main Event (104th for $41,816) and a second-place finish at the Irish Open.
There are plenty of reasons for Annette Obrestad to join the ranks of the WiPHoF. The youngest ever WSOP bracelet winner has racked up over $3.9 million in live tournament earnings, including just over $2 million for winning the first World Series of Poker Europe Main Event. She also once famously won a $4 buy-in, 180-person Sit & Go while only looking at her cards one time. Remarkable.
Any one of these ladies would be deserving of a place in the WiPHoF – and you can help influence the outcome.
How to Vote
Voting is now open to determine who will make the cut. Votes are cast from all living members of the WiPHoF as well as eight carefully chosen experts from the Member Media/Industry voting panel.
You get to have your say, too. The public vote will remain open until 30 October 2024, with the combined results counting as one member’s votes. You’ll have the chance to vote for up to three nominees, with the results being revealed in November and a full Induction Celebration & Ceremony taking place on 11 December 2024.
You can cast your vote here.
