The inductees for the 2012 Australian Poker Hall of Fame were revealed on Thursday, and it will be two longtime veterans of the Australian poker scene who will join the other legends of Aussie Poker in the APHOF: 2011 Aussie Millions winner David Gorr, and 2007 Victoria Poker Championships winner Jason Gray.

Both men have over $1 million in career tournament earnings; with Gorr winning well above that amount for his Aussie Millions Championship last year, and both have spent the vast majority of their poker careers in Australia.

Like the Poker Hall of Fame, the APHOF has a certain set of criteria that a player must live up to before being inducted:

• Be a current or former residents of Australia or New Zealand
• Have demonstrated outstanding and extended service to the game, bringing credit to Australian Casino Tournament Poker and/or
• Have displayed significant player excellence.

Gorr and Gray were blindsided by the induction, with Gorr admitting to finding about it only five minutes before the honor was bestowed on him! The two join Australian poker legends like Joe Hachem, Jeffrey Lisandro, and Tony G in the APHOF. Here is a look at all of the inductees to the APHOF over the years:
