The Poker Hall of Fame will be expanding by two on Tuesday as Linda Johnson and Barry Greenstein take their place among the great names of the game, and the two new inductees will be introduced by two players already in the Poker Hall of Fame –Doyle Brunson will be introducing his good friend and longtime high-stakes opponent Barry Greenstein, while Mike Sexton will have the honor of listing “The First Lady of Poker” Linda Johnson’s resume.

Brunson was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 1988 (a bit of a surprise when you consider he was already considered one of the game’s greats in the 1970’s) alongside Jack “TreeTop” Strauss (who is best known for being credited with inventing the “Chip and a Chair” mantra of poker players around the world), while Sexton was the lone inductee in 2009.

The two presenters will have to keep their note-cards at the ready considering the vast resumes of both Johnson and Greenstein.

Greenstein is not only one of the best tournament AND cash-game players in the history of poker, but he has also penned one of the most popular poker books of all-time in Ace on the River, not to mention that his moniker “The Robin Hood of Poker” comes from all of his philanthropic activities.

Johnson may not have the poker resume of other inductees (she is a WSOP bracelet winner) but her contributions to the game are as meaningful as just about anyone in the game’s history. An original founder and editor of Card Player Magazine, an instrumental part in the creation of the World Poker Tour, founder of the Tournament Directors Association, and a member of the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.
