Norman Chad was not thrilled about Isai Scheinberg’s Poker Hall of Fame nomination
Every year the nominees list for the Poker Hall of Fame creates a huge buzz in the poker industry. Many critics and fans join the conversation but it’s unusual for the nominees themselves to be participating in these discussions. Norman Chad came under criticism recently for voicing his unhappiness about PokerStars’ very own Isai Scheinberg’s nomination. Apparently, Chad was critical of Scheinberg’s nomination by claiming that he took advantage of the vacated U.S. market right after the passing of UIGEA in 2006. Chad allegedly called Isai a “businessman who cheated the system,” a statement that angered many fans who snapped back saying that Chad wouldn’t even be here had it not been for PokerStars back in the day.
