As the Tournament Director, Effel would look into various tournaments and its operations. He also needs to take care of the dealer and floor-person staffing, apart from the payout percentages, structures for mega- and super-satellites, and also even the second chances tournaments.
On the other hand, the Daily’s duties include looking after all the financial activities which include the account management, auditing, operations, and also even office staffing, registration and convention services.
Both these two director’s Effel and Daily would directly be responsible and would report to Howard Greenbaum, Harrah's Western Division Vice President of Specialty Gaming.
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack said that "Improving tournament operations is our top priority for 2007.”Howard will provide clear leadership and one-stop shopping on all things poker, and Jack and Bob will manage the tournament and event operations day-to-day. This is a winning combination that deepens our bench and will result in a better experience for players and spectators."
"Jack and Bob know the poker business inside out," said Greenbaum. "Given the enormous complexity of hosting an event of this magnitude, it's important to have truly exceptional people overseeing the details. Jack and Bob fit that description."
Both these directors (Effel and Daily) served as World Series of Poker tournament directors in 2006.
