What happened to Matt Savage?
I noticed he wasn't the director this year in the (articles i read) WSOP?
I've read a few that tell of him directing in Europe. Anyone know . . .? John |

Re: What happened to Matt Savage?
He had a very elaborate booth set up at the WSOP this year offering his "services". It looked like he had almost a menu of the things that he offered which included "tournament direction" and "tournament consultation" as well as "tournament assistance". There was literature there for the taking like pamphlets and cards and stuff. Very odd.... It looked like if you were going to throw a poker birthday party for an eleven year old that Matt would be happy to show up.

If you pay my appearance fee, I'll show up at your kid's party as well. Probably more fun than sitting at a booth in the casino signing autographs anyway. ;-) Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan) |

How much is your appearance fee? [/ QUOTE ] Expenses plus $10,000 on up. If the appearance is very convenient and so forth, it's the 10K. If it's a multi-day thing, requires lots of travel time, etc., etc., then the price moves up to 15K, 20K, or possibly more. Somebody else asked about the WSOP thing next to my name. One of the mods did that on their own initiative, but I didn't mind, so I didn't object. Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan) |

Re: What happened to Matt Savage?
The story I heard (read on RGP maybe? he posts there, so you can ask him yourself) is that Harrah's wanted his exclusive services so that he couldn't direct tournaments outside of their properties. He chose not to tie himself up.
