Lon and Norman they are the voices of the WSOP Main Event. They have been together for over twenty years and they brought in the Moneymaker era with their iconic words. Especially the Moneymaker-Ivey confrontation.

[@kowgod]

Amanda - next step, find all the border pieces. Step after that - put it aside and never get back to it. Easy! Daniel - loved that part with your mom. Best segment of the vlog all summer (the bracelet comes second)

[@jackbertwistle3666]

Norm and Lon!!! - When you look back at some of the biggest, most historical and important moments throught the years. You can all but guarantee that their voices, humour and personalities are peppered throughout most of them. They were, and in some ways, still are THE soundtrack to poker in all its forms! Much-needed respect to be paid to the pair!!!! 🙌

[@bradfreemantle9112]

Definitely Lon and Norman. Great people, great ambassadors, their ying and yang works so well. They’ve called so many iconic moments over the years. What they’ve done for the game to me is kept new players constantly interested. Love those guys.

[@DrSnowBrainHealth]

Daniel I remember watching those early videos of your Romanian mom cooking for you… brings me back good memories of my Hungarian mom…I probably lived close to you ../in between Bathurst and Sheppard ..and Younge and Sheppard…that’s where I grew up..love your videos! For many years!

[@thomasrudd1418]

Norman and Lom. I Have been watching them commentate on the WSOP for years. The way that they could explain the actions of the players as well as getting into their thought process made it simple for those of us who knew nothing of the games at the time to follow and understand. The comedic aspect of Norman at times kept the people who would drift at times engaged. In this way, they have reached so many people and brought them into the game, whether as just fans or new players. This is why I think they deserve to be in the Hall of Fame and quite a long time coming too.

[@Brandnewsofa]

Daniel, my Italian grandpa was the same way! Baby of a large poor family and always showed his love through food. He even brought me hot chocolate in a thermos during a cold morning soccer game, and I had to tell him I needed water, but I’d drink it after the game! Haha I’d have to vote for Josh Arieh, because he’s an absolute crusher and does not get the recognition he deserves.

[@ricogreenberg]

Love the stories about how important your Mother was in your life.

[@griffeyjeter242]

Lon McEachren & Norman Chad should be the nomination for the Hall of Fame. They were the original commentators for all WSOP coverage on ESPN and literally helped bring the game to the mass audience it now has. They explained the game, the backgrounds of each of the players (including "nicknames" that may never be known such as "Kid Poker"), and helped bring the game from the back rooms into main stream. Neither have been recognized for their role in the "Poker Boom" but they are absolutely apart of that. Their dynamic with each other on the commentary brought a different perspective on the game as we watched and learned. These two should be recognized for their amazing contribution to WSOP that we all now know.

[@newman9948]

Lon McEachren & Norman Chad will never be forgotten.

[@dayman2971]

Lon McEachren and Norman Chad’s amazing commentary and hilarious banter is what originally got me interested in poker, and I imagine this was the case for millions of others who saw the main event on ESPN back in the day. They both have done so much to grow the game, and I believe they deserve a place in the poker hall of fame.

[@OkayAllDay]

The idea of your loving mom feeding the serious Phil Ivey is funny for some reason. Would kill to see footage of that. Good luck today!

[@Orangeokie7]

I can relate Daniel. My mom is from Spain and she loves to cook for me all the time. Your mom was exactly like mine. Fond memories!

[@allthingsinvesting]

Lon & Norm for sure. Staples of the game and have done so much to keep people engaged in watching something that can at times be dry for the average viewer. These guys are legends!!!

[@jcusackfan]

I remember watching that video of your mother bringing you food. I think that's when I started following you because it was so sweet. No one will ever replace a mother 😥

[@Phoenix85-h5j]

Lon McEachern and Norman Chad are the most deserving nominees for the Poker Hall of Fame this year. For over two decades, their iconic commentary has transformed poker broadcasts, making the game more entertaining for millions. Their insightful analysis and engaging humor have significantly contributed to poker's popularity and growth. With a lasting legacy in poker broadcasting, they continue to inspire new generations of enthusiasts. Their unparalleled contributions beyond the felt make them exemplary candidates for the Hall of Fame.

[@cecilwampler8733]

Nice list of candidates for the hall of fame, but I think Ted Forrest was the name I couldn't believe wasn't already there. He definitely made a contribution to the game and is a legendary figure in regards to cash game play and tournaments. His prop bet accomplishments are also equally amazing and hilarious.

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Forrest should have been in ages ago, Matusow too

[@jamesharrison9859]

Daniel, I remember the coverage with your mother from back in the day. There is nothing like a mother's love. I lost my mom a few years ago and it so difficult. My mom was the same way she would cook for all my friends. Awesome memory! You were so lucky to have such a great mom.

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

HoF reducing from 2 to 1 per year was madness.... there are easily 15 backlog people deserving of a place, and that list will be 25+ in a few years

[@manwithoutparachute4207]

[@tanthony298]

Doesnt make sense the game is growing how can you reduce the number of HOFers

[@manwithoutparachute4207]

@@tanthony298 I'm saying over time some of those "HOFers" won't be considered any longer because better picks will be considered.

[@mgish23]

@@manwithoutparachute4207 I understand this argument. I mean the baseball HOF is littered with early picks who may have been good for their time but lack what is considered Hall worthy stats now. That being said I disagree with that take here. The poker Hall has been very stingy with the amount of people who get in and I'm not sure why. They should absolutely honor more of the poker boom stars who brought the game to the masses and fostered the rise of the game.

[@joeparisi5742]

Would always love when they would show the videos of your mom during the broadcasts. Great seeing those video clips again. Great memories for you! You were blessed to have such a loving mom! I know, because I was too!

Lon and Norman were the first real voice of the wsop. They brought so many people into the game with their infectious commentary they deserve to be in the hall of fame

[@spicymustard1579]

Has to be Norman and Lon. Hands down. They have been the voice for over 20 years without fail, calling every fold, double up and bad beat with humor and keeping everyone interested. Their Humor has brought a side to poker that made hours of watching bearable. They dont get enough credit for the job they have done.

Ted Forrest should be in the HOF, he has six bracelets, WPT win, played in High Stakes Poker, nose bleed cash games and staked many legends including Daniel, Helmuth, Layne and others.

[@bacres]

Regarding the Hall of Fame,, Although many on this list are deserving, for me it should be Lon & Norman.. They have been on the scene together since 2002 when Moneymaker won the main event.. I can honestly say, had it not been for Lon's colorful insight and Norman's comedic relief *(Especially, when he brings up his "Previous Life" and talks about his ex wife(s)) I'm not sure poker would be where it is today.. they kept me watching even when the game got boring.. Fast forward 22 years later, and I cannot imagine WSOP without them calling the game.. Nostalgic, sure.. but great insight and knowledge of the game, coupled with Lon's soothing voice and Norman's comic relief,, These guys have mastered their craft and put the WSOP on the map and are well deserving of HOF recognition..

[@MajorCanada]

Absolutely adroable. Such an amazing story. Your mom was amazing and inspirational! We should always take care of our close friends like they are family!

[@Zo609-z1z]

My vote would be for Lon and Norman. The majority of poker players from my generation were introduced to poker during the poker boom. Their wit and enthusiasm sparked a love for poker in me, while watching the WSOP. Being the color commentary of that era and beyond, they deserve a place in the Poker Hall of Fame.

Im pretty sure this goes for millions around the world, meaning, these two funny characters made the WSOP popular and exciting, not only to americans, but around the world. Best of luck for the reminder of the series 🤞

[@JimTheis32]

Josh Arieh, Easy pick. POY and Top 3 finish in Main Event and Top 2 Finish in the Poker Players Championship. 1) Josh Arieh: Big Name, Casual Fans would recognize him. He is one of three people to have finished 3rd or better in the Main event and 2nd or better in The Poker Players Championship. (The other two are Phil Hellmuth and Scotty Nguyen) WSOP: 2021 Player of the Year, Best Main Event Finish: 3th 2004, 6 Bracelets, and WSOP Cashes 73. This guy has showed it over the years combined with a lot of recent success. His name is in the HOF group and has been for years. 2) Jeremy Ausmus: Big Name, Watcher of the vlog would know his name. He has had a lot of success since 2021 winning 5 bracelets during that time. Best Main Event Finish: 5th 2012, 110 WSOP Cashes. He is a strong candidate but not the best. 3) Mike Matusow: Very recognizable name. non poker fans would know him from ESPN videos. Won 4 Bracelets spaced over 14 years.. 4 different games.. I would have guessed he was in the HOF. Best Main Event Finish: 6th 2001, WSOP Cashes: 43 4) Bill Smith: Died in 1996 before the poker boom. Only Bracelet is a Main event winner in 1985. Often Played Drunk. Tight sober player but very excellent drunk player. 5) Lon McEachern & Norman Chad: Very recognizable name. Deserve honors but not before bracelet winners. Should be in the HOF by how connected they were to the Poker boom. 6) Kathy Liebert: She has has more success at the WPT than the WSOP. Current member of the Woman’s HOF. Best Main Event Finish: 17th (twice 1998 and 2000), 1 Bracelet, WSOP Cashes: 84 7) Ted Forrest: Not as much recent success, Three wins in 1993, 2 in 2004 and one in 2014… largest event prize at the WSOP was $300,300. Best Main Event Finish: 408th 2006, 6 Bracelets, WSOP Cashes 31. 8) Matt Savage: Tournament Director… Poker Room Manager’s HOF member Not someone a casual fan would know about. 9) Isai Scheinberg: Poker Stars founder indicted on five criminal charges relate to Poker Stars.. Sold Stake in Poker stars for $4.9 Billion. Not a public figure and I would argue he didn’t expand the game in a positive way. I wouldn’t consider him at all.
