UltimateBet Signs Matt Savage to Direct Aruba Tourney
The famed tournament director will head up the 2007 Aruba Poker Classic
Monday 4th June 2007
UltimateBet has announced that notorious tourney director Matt Savage is on board to oversee their signature 2007 Aruba Poker Classic tournament.
'We're injecting the hottest poker tourney of the year with even more energy and excitement,' commented UltimateBet spokesperson George MacLean. 'With the top tournament director signed on to help us give away an estimated $2.5 in prize money, online poker players have an unprecedented number of reasons to drop their jaws.'
To date, Savage has directed countless million-dollar tournaments and has appeared on more than 300 televised poker shows.
Savage's credentials stretch far beyond just calling the shots on the poker room floor, however. 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.
In order to secure Savage and return the tournament to its home at the Radisson Aruba Resort and Casino, the date of the weeklong tournament has been pushed back by one week. The 2007 Aruba Poker Classic will now be held from 29 September to 6 October 2007.
