One ruling… one sentence… and the most famous hand of the poker boom might’ve played out completely differently. But that’s only a tiny piece of Matt’s story. Because before poker had standardized tournament rules… before the TDA… before modern tournament poker became the machine it is today… everything was chaos. Different casinos had different rules. Players argued nonstop. Structures were all over the place. And during the poker boom? Absolute insanity. So Matt Savage helped fix it.

This one is poker history, poker philosophy, and behind-the-scenes Vegas chaos all wrapped into one episode. 👇 Comment below: What’s the most controversial poker ruling YOU’ve ever seen?
