However, the PKR-backed venture, which can seat up to 200 players at a time, is now ready. The club, situated on Shaftesbury Avenue in London’s West End, will hold the usual mixture of cash games as well as a series of regular tournaments.
The promising schedule includes a Sunday 4pm us$ 158 deep-stack freezeout, with 30 minute blinds. For those who prefer their action a bit faster, the regular Tuesday night us$ 110 freezeout - with levels every 20/25 minutes - looks the best bet.
Other tournament buy-ins include us$ 39.5, us$ 63.2 and us$ 79 - with come including rebuys - so every level is catered for.
In addition to the tourneys there's also a 'PKR only table', a poker library, smoker’s deck and a bar/lounge. Free afternoon tutorials will also be held for any new members who want to improve their Hold'em.
There are three levels of membership: The free 'Aces High' option, a second level 'Full House' with some nice added extras which costs us$ 395-a-year, and the full monty, 'Royal Flush' which costs a whopping us$ 1,185.
