Poker Stories: TDA Summit Recap With Matt Savage

Matt Savage was Tournament Director for the World Series of Poker during the poker boom, and has since spent more than a decade as the Executive Tour Director for the World Poker Tour. But the perennial Poker Hall of Fame nominee is also a co-founder of the Tournament Director's Association, which helped to standardize poker tournament rules.

Every two years, poker room representatives from around the world come to Las Vegas for the TDA Summit, where they discuss the biggest issues facing the game and any needed rules changes or amendments.

This year's summit was held at the PokerGO studio at Aria, and featured a number of topics including the big blind ante, masks and wearable tech, random card theory, and just how late tournament registration should be open. You can watch the full 13-hour replay of this year's summit on YouTube.
