The Poker Hall of Fame Governing Council announced the Class of 2016, adding two new members, Todd Brunson and Carlos Mortensen, to poker’s most exclusive club, the Poker Hall of Fame.
"It's a true honor to be inducted by my peers into this prestigious institution,” said Brunson in a release. “I literally grew up attending these ceremonies and have always respected and admired its members. To join their ranks is the honor of a lifetime."
These two players will be the 51st and 52nd inductees into the Poker Hall of Fame through public nomination and a 44-person panel vote made up of existing Poker Hall of Fame members and a Blue Ribbon Media Panel.
