A PokerNews Debate: Should The Hall of Fame Induct Chris Moneymaker?

With the recent announcement of the Poker Hall of Fame nominees, poker professionals, amateurs and railbirds alike joined in to add their two cents about who they thought deserved the prestigious honor, as well as who was a long shot.

Of the nominees - Chris Bjorin, Humberto Brenes, Todd Brunson, Eli Elezra, Bruno Fitoussi, Chris Moneymaker, Carlos Mortensen, Max Pescatori, Matt Savage and David 'Devilfish' Ulliott - PokerNews decided to debate whether Chris Moneymaker, whose story has been told time and time again and who has been credited for creating a poker boom, thanks in part to his unique name, deserves to be an inductee.
