CoolBet Has PokerStars Founder Poker Hall of Fame 2020 Favorite

Only one individual is slated to be inducted into the 2020 Poker Hall of Fame, and the folks at CoolBet.com believe that one person just might be none other than Isai Scheinberg.

He is the one-time founder of PokerStars who went on the lam for a number of years following a 2011 indictment.

Coolbet has Scheinberg as a +150 favorite.  This is his first time nominated.

Other nominees include

Antonio Esfandiari 3/1

Patrik Antonius 4/1

Matt Savage 6/1

Huck Seed 14/1

Mike Matusow 24/1
