Matthew Pitt
Senior EditorMatthew Pitt hails from Leeds, West Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom, and has worked in the poker industry since 2008, when he was asked to write and maintain a blog for Betfair, the largest betting exchange in the world. Since then, he has written poker news, poker strategy, and promotional articles for several well-known and established online poker sites and sports betting companies, including PokerStars and PartyPoker, along with providing live updates on poker tournaments for PokerNews, the World Poker Tour, and the World Series of Poker.
In September 2010, he became the editor of PokerNews. Matthew stepped away from live reporting duties in 2015, and now concentrates on his role of Senior Editor for the PokerNews.
When he's not working, Matthew can often be found playing online poker tournaments and cash games, screaming at the top of his lungs from the stands at Leeds United's Elland Road stadium, or relaxing by playing the latest video games.
