Dusk Till Dawn



The Dusk Till Dawn poker club held a mini festival last weekend.


An organisation with the needs of the player at heart, the club was born from Rob Yong's frustration at being turned away from a poker tournament because he was a minute late.


Dwelling on his anger he decided, with friend Nick Whiten, to scrawl a few ideas on paper and conceive the club.


Three years, after surviving the loss of their application by the UK Gambling Commission and a vigorous legal battle with established casinos, the Dusk Till Dawn club was able to open its doors as the UK's first legal poker-only club.


Based in Nottingham, it offers 45 tables, varied buy-ins, professional dealers and a valet service, ready for the visit of any high-rollers.


It continues to grow and the main event of the recent festival was a £750 NL tournament, which attracted the recent winner of the £1000 GUKPT Leg 4, Marc Goodwin, who managed 5th place in Sunday's climax.


Top dog was Chris Bruce who walked off into the sunrise with a cool £20,738.
