The evening

Poker the way it's meant to feel

The Salon exists for fields that take the game seriously. Deep stacks and hour-long levels let real poker breathe — there's no turbo pressure, no rail noise, no distractions between you and the read.

Guests enrol at the terminal kiosk in ninety seconds; the salon door knows them by face from then on. Inside: a dedicated dealer per table, a private cashier, cellar service and a chef's counter twelve steps away.

High-Roller Tournament
What's inside

Every element, engineered

Curated field

Every seat is nominated through the Captain's Club — the list is the game.

Biometric access

Ninety-second enrolment at the terminal; the salon opens for the list only.

Cellar service

Reserve pours at the table — the sommelier works the same clock as the dealers.

Private cashier

Chip accounting and prize escrow handled in-room, away from the floor.

The format

Deep stacks, slow clock, serious cards

One hundred thousand in starting chips, sixty-minute levels, no rebuys after level four. The format is agreed with the field at booking — freezeout, bounty or a mix — because the room knows what it wants.

  • 100K starting stacks, 60-minute levels
  • Format agreed with the field in advance
  • Senior dealers with major-tournament experience
  • Heads-up under the salon skylight, streamed to members
