Matt Savage Confirmed as 2008 Tournament Director

May 15, 2008 -

Nobody says "shuffle up and deal" quite like Matt Savage. And this fall, those words will be echoed from under a palm tree. The world's leading tournament director is on board to oversee the signature 2008 Aruba Poker Classic tournament for second year in a row.

"We're injecting the hottest poker tourney of the year with even more energy and excitement," stated spokesperson George MacLean. "With the top tournament director signed on to help us give away a main prize of one million dollars, online poker players have an unprecedented number of reasons to drop their jaws."

To date, Savage has directed countless million-dollar tournaments including the WSOP® and various WPT events. He has appeared on more than 300 televised poker shows on ESPN, GSN, Fox Sports, Travel Channel and other popular networks.

However, Savage's credentials stretch far beyond just calling the shots on the poker room floor. In an effort to standardize tournament rules throughout the world, Savage founded the Tournament Directors Association. In 2003, he was inducted into the Poker Room Manager’s Hall of Fame as its very first member.
