Yesterday, I gave my thoughts on five of the ten finalists for the 2011 Poker Hall of Fame class. Today I will round out my predictions and tell you who I think the other person that will be inducted this year. *Annie Duke* - This nomination surprised me, but yet it didn't surprise me. Nobody can deny her track record.

Erik Seidel has had an epic 2011. Since the beginning of the year, he has taken down two major high-roller events and the NBC National Heads-Up Championship to take over the all-time money list lead. However, there are now allegations arising that are beginning to cast doubt as to whether these wins were indeed legitimate. It all started with a post on the TwoPlusTwo forums a couple of weeks ago when poster "CrownWatchdog186" posted that the fix was in for both the $100,000 Challenge match and the $250,000 buy-in Super High Roller event.

Since we are entering the final week of 2010, it is time for me to be a lemming and do my year in review posts like every other poker blogger and writer in the poker media.  However, you all know I love to put my own opinion on this, so over the next couple of days, I will give you MY Top 10 Poker Moments of 2010. *#10 - Annie Duke Wins NBC National Heads-Up Championship* * * **** * * Annie Duke does not play the same schedule as many other pros due to her family.   As such, she really has to try and take advantage of the live events she plays in.

The Women in Poker Hall of Fame announced their 2010 class last week and, as I figured, my two picks were inducted into the Hall along with someone else I never heard of. Jennifer Harman was to me an obvious choice due to the fact that she is clearly the best all around female player on the planet. She is the only woman to consistently play at the high limits of Bobby's Room year in and year out and is the only woman in history to have 2 open WSOP bracelets. Kathy Liebert is the all-time women's money winner and clearly the best female NL Holdem tournament player on the planet.

The 2010 WSOP has finally wrapped up, or at least until November anyway.   We saw a lot of history made and big headline stories along the way.   I thought I would take a few moments to review some of the predictions I made a couple of days prior to the start of the Series. *Women Will Not Walk Away With Three Bracelets - Result: Push* Technically, I nailed this one based on the title, but I also said I thought that women would walk away with 2 bracelets including the Ladies Event.

It has been a very interesting, and late, night at the 2010 World Series of Poker. Four events were underway tonight, but only half of them completed. Huck Seed won the Tournament of Champions and Daniel Alaei won his 3rd career bracelet. *Tournament of Champions Grind Finally Over* While many pros did their typical "thank you for the opportunity" speech at the end of the event, the one word that stuck out before the final table began was #clusterfuck.

This year at the 2010 World Series of Poker has been dubbed with different “Year Of’s. ” I thought it was interesting to see how some of the “big stories” coming into the 2010 WSOP have been developing. *Year of the Woman* Coming into the WSOP, Ty Stewart made the prediction that 2 or 3 women would win open field WSOP events. Mike Matusow stated that if this happened, he would run naked down the strip.

The action is heating up here tonight at the Rio. The $1,500 NL Shootout just made the final table and Annette Obrestad was our 11th place finisher. The $2,500 Razz is at the final table and down to just seven players. Jennifer Harman, Vladimir Shchemelev, and Frank Kassela are battling on this table for the bracelet.

Day 27 of the 2010 WSOP is underway with three events playing to completion today. The $2,500 Razz Event started with 18 players with 15 left including Artie Cobb, Vladimir Shchemelev, Steve Diano, Jennifer Harman and Frank Kassela. The past weekend's $1,000 NL Final table is underway with 8 players left. Sebastien Roy is the current chip leader.

Day 20 of the 2010 World Series of Poker is underway and by 5 p. m. , six tournaments will be underway. Over in the Pavilion we have Day 1 of the $1,500 NL Holdem.
