Two of the most famous from that era, the Diamond Club and The Mayfair Bridge Club, were famous proving grounds for such poker legends as Lederer, Erik Seidel, and Dan Harrington. From the 1980s through 2000, New York City law enforcement generally left poker rooms alone. You are bidding on the 3 chips shown in the scan. Keep in Mind there is one shipping charge for 1 or 100 chips ordered at the same time! US Only $2.75 shipping for any size order payed for the at same time. The 1998 movie Rounders used the Diamond Club as the model for the “Teddy KGBs” casino, and the Mayfair Club was the model for “The Chesterfield Club”. The New York Police Department, however, closed these clubs in the summer of 2000 during the Rudolph Giuliani administration’s law and order campaign. 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.
Some of the longest operating underground clubs have been in New York City. Thanks for looking! Chips from the long closed Diamond Club poker room in New York City.
