The Poker Hall of Fame doesn’t waste much time.

Less than a week after announcing their 2017 Finalists the institution officially selected Phil Ivey and David “Devilfish” Ulliott into their Hall of Fame.

The induction of Ivey is especially impressive as he just turned 40, the minimum to be selected. The 10 time WSOP Bracelet winner becomes the youngest member of the Hall.

The induction of Ulliott is posthumous as “Devilfish” passed away in 2015 from cancer. The Englishman helped spread the game in the United Kingdom.

Ivey and Ulliott become members 53 and 54 of the Poker Hall of Fame.
