1) Who is the 2004 Binion's Poker Hall of Fame inductee who is recognized as the player with the most all-time cashes?

1) is it Cloutier?
2) no idea
3) a small percent of a pot from a cash game taken by the house

I thought 1 was Hellmuth.
2. Edmond Hoyle
3. What Chuck said
4. What Chuck said.

1 Berry Johnston

Nice work list.

"Johnston won the 1986 World Series of Poker main event, and placed 3rd and 5th in the 1982 and 1990 World Series, respectively. He has made at least 26 final tables at the WSOP and has finished in the money at least 48 times. He has also cashed in the main event more times than any other player." Wikipedia

I think Hellmuth has the record for the most cashes overall, not in any particular event.

Berry Johnston (2004)

Berry Johnston is the 1986 World Series of Poker Champion. At the time of his induction into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2004, Berry Johnston was recognized for having the most all-time cashes at the World Series of Poker. Berry has made money in at least one tournament every year since 1982, which is truly an amazing feat.

Rats...foiled again. I really need to check this sooner if I want to play along.

1) Berry Johnston

2) Edmond Hoyle
