Real, real shame. Especially coming hard on the heels of International closing. Thoughts go out to the staff. Hope Genting looks after them properly.

Very disappointed. Their monthly tournament had a good structure but clashed with DTD so didn't get the numbers it deserved.

I was there this weekend. It was also where I played my first live tournament in November 2010.

Whenever I heard people talking about the Fox, they'd say that the tournaments were great, but not much cash action - and recommend elsewhere for that.

Was this the problem?

Genting UK has issued a statement following the surprise closure of the Fox Poker Club on Monday. The club confirmed that the Shaftesbury Avenue venue will re-open in spring 2013 as an unspecified Genting venue.
All player funds will be transferred to the Genting Casino Cromwell Mint in South Kensington including deposits, promotional tournament tokens. Players will also able to redeem any outstanding Fox cash chips.

The monthly £1,000 Big Game, which only recently to the Fox from the Palm Beach, will head to the Mint, as will the £400 monthly Main Event.

“Genting UK look forward to welcoming Fox Poker Club members to the Mint or their other venues including the Palm Beach Casino, Mayfair which has a high stakes cash poker room with nightly £5-£10 Hold’em cash games,” read the statement from Genting. “The Bluff Europe Cardroom at the Genting Casino Cromwell Mint hosts evening tournaments at 7:30pm ranging from £40 to £70 entry and cash games starting from £1-£2 blinds.”

I hadn't realised the big game had moved from the Palm Beach, anyone know why they moved it and why it's not moving back there?

How many tables does the Mint have? I thought it was only around 7 or 8. It's also a bit claustrophobic.

Only 3 tables in the PB these days, cash only, works way better imo.
