Eli Elezra enshrined into the 2021 Poker Hall of Fame

On Wednesday, the World Series of Poker enshrined veteran poker professional Eli Elezra into the 2021 Poker Hall of Fame. The long-awaited induction ceremony was held in tandem with day two of the Main Event Final Table and the Hall of Fame Bounty tournament at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

Elezra has several notable tournament wins including four World Series of Poker gold bracelets - earning his fourth and latest career bracelet in 2019. Elezra, better known as Mr. Vegas, claimed the win in Event #20 $1,500 Seven-Card Stud at the 2019 WSOP. His triumphant win in the four-day event earned him an illustrious career high of $93,766, leaving him with a lifetime career total of $2,620,198.

Next year, this ceremony could be taking place at a different location as the WSOP announced it will also be moving from the Rio to Bally's – Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas on the Strip, with actor, comedian and card player Vince Vaughn named as the event's official celebrity Master of Ceremonies.

After a 17-year run at the Rio, the WSOP will be held at the heart of the famed Las Vegas Strip inside Bally's and Paris for the first time.
