The Diamond Club was an illegal poker room that operated in New York City.
According to Wikipedia:
"Some of the longest operating underground clubs have been in New York City. Two of these, the Diamond Club and the Mayfair Club, were famous proving grounds for such now well-known poker players as Howard Lederer, Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington. The New York Police Department, however, closed these clubs in the summer of 2000 during the Rudolph Giuliani administration’s law and order campaign."
The 1998 movie "Rounders" used the Diamond Club as the model for the “Teddy KGBs” casino.
I have 305 chips available. $1 x 19, $5 x 280 and $25 x 6.
This would make a great home poker set. Why not play with some of the chips that the real players used?
$350 + the S&H. Email me if interested. Thanks.
