Formats
Choose the structure that matches your style. Each format runs on a dedicated night, so you can plan your week around the games you enjoy most.
Monday
Classic tournament format where you buy in once and play until you run out of chips. No re-entries, no second chances — just clean, strategic poker from the first hand to the last.
Tuesday
Add more chips during the rebuy period if you bust out early. A forgiving structure that rewards aggressive play while keeping you in the action.
Wednesday
Start with a larger chip stack for more play and deeper strategy. Longer levels give you room to manoeuvre and make considered decisions.
Thursday
Short-handed tournament with a maximum of six players per table. More hands, more pressure, and more opportunities to build a stack quickly.
Friday
Earn a cash reward for every player you eliminate. Every knockout puts money in your pocket, turning aggression into immediate profit.
Saturday
A premium $500 buy-in event for players who want the biggest prize pools and the most intense competition in the room.
Structure
Our tournaments feature a well-balanced blind structure that allows for deep play and strategic decision-making. Levels increase every 20 to 30 minutes, giving every stack room to breathe while keeping the tournament moving toward a decisive finish.
Starting stacks range from 10,000 chips in the Sunday Turbo to 50,000 chips in the Wednesday Deepstack and Saturday High Roller. Antes are introduced from Level 4 in all events, which tightens the action at exactly the right moment and prevents the middle stages from becoming a chip-preservation exercise.
Every structure is reviewed by our floor team before the first hand is dealt. If a tournament runs longer than expected, we adjust breaks and level timings transparently — never by surprise — so you always know where you stand.

Quick answers to common tournament queries.
Yes, if seats are available. We recommend reserving in advance because popular events such as the Friday Bounty and Saturday High Roller regularly sell out before the first level.
21+ only. Every guest must present valid photo identification at the door, and the same rule applies to tournament registration and the dedicated poker room.
Yes, cash games run concurrently throughout the evening. If you bust out of a tournament, you can move straight to a cash table or enjoy the restaurant and bar while you wait for the next event.
No, phones must be away during hands. You can use your phone away from the table during breaks. This keeps the game moving and protects the integrity of every hand.
