Matt Savage by controversy over the WSOPE bracelets

Posted by admin On September - 30 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

The WSOP bracelets are for a large majority of players, one of the most important objects of the poker world and although there are some who say they will not hesitate to throw it away, they are generally very popular. However, are not without controversy and this time is Matt Savage, Tournament Director of the WPT, who is in charge of reviving .

In an interview on This Week in Poker, Savage asked your opinion on the bracelets that are delivered outside of Las Vegas, that is, in the WSOPE and, without hesitation, he replied “did not seem real bracelets and do not have much value as those delivered in Las Vegas. “

Similar but not identical ?

Savage said wryly that, go on, soon you could be doing WSOP in Asia, Latin America and elsewhere in the world when the event in Las Vegas that brings together the largest number of players. “ Phil Laak has a bracelet, fantastic, but did not win in Las Vegas is where it all began ,” said Savage.

The response of Ty Stewart , Director of Communications of the WSOP, was swift and also came with some irony: “ Matt Savage is now an authority to decide on the integrity of the bracelets ? I wonder what has to say about the WPT bracelets, which also were awarded retroactively in an attempt to remove authority to the WSOP and confuse the public, “he wrote.

According to Stewart, the WPT has always been antagonistic to the WSOP and more at the WSOPE. Sn however, says that London will meet the best poker players every year and there is no reason to belittle their achievements by the fact that the tournaments are smaller.

Tell Phil Laak and Gus Hansen that his bracelets are not real . I’m sure his WPT bracelets mailed have already met all expectations of his car, “joked Stewart.

The controversy is served .
