Hall Of Fame Main Page

Message from APHOF Chairman Maurie Pears:

In proposing this Australian Poker Hall of Fame, I have been driven by a long time desire to honour and set in stone, those poker players, casinos and promoters who have done so much to bring the game to the standard of excellence as it is today.

In the selection of inductees, advice has been taken from numerous poker players and supporters and casino administrators. Domestic and international results were examined as were results from overseas going back to 1987.

Criteria for Hall of Fame consideration:

• Are current or former residents of Australia or New Zealand,
• Have demonstrated outstanding and extended service to the game, bringing credit to Australian Casino Tournament Poker, and/or
• Have displayed significant player excellence.
