Cardann Exemac Donnell · Surry Hills
Experience the finest professional poker tables in Sydney, designed for serious players who value the authenticity of face-to-face poker. Custom-built surfaces, premium felt, and an atmosphere that keeps every hand in focus.
The Foundation of Every Hand
Our poker tables are the centrepiece of the Cardann Exemac Donnell experience, built to meet the demands of serious poker players who expect nothing less than perfection. Every table is custom-made for the venue, combining tournament-grade materials with an ergonomic layout that keeps the game moving and the players comfortable.
Choose Your Table
From nine-handed classics to intimate round tables, each surface is built for a different rhythm of play. Find the table that matches your game.
Our signature oval tables are the heart of the poker room, designed for classic poker games like Texas Hold'em and Omaha. Each table seats up to nine players comfortably, with a padded rail, built-in cup holders, and premium felt in deep green for optimal card visibility.
For smaller groups or heads-up poker, our round tables provide an intimate setting that encourages focused play. Ideal for four to six players, the compact design fosters conversation and strategy while using the same premium materials as our larger tables.
For special events and high-stakes poker tournaments, our feature table offers an elevated experience with enhanced lighting and spectator seating. Positioned under a dedicated light fixture and surrounded by comfortable viewing chairs, it is reserved for final tables and premium poker events.
The Room Around the Table
The poker room at Cardann Exemac Donnell is engineered for concentration and comfort, with low ambient lighting, acoustic treatments, and a layout that minimises distractions. Warm, directional lighting over each table reduces eye strain, while sound-absorbing materials keep the room quiet and focused. Tables are spaced to allow easy movement without crowding, so every player can settle into the game.
Built to Last
Every table is built with tournament-grade felt, solid wood rails, and reinforced legs to withstand years of intense play. The felt is stain-resistant and provides consistent card slide, while the rails are upholstered in premium leather for comfort. Adjustable levelers on the legs ensure stability on any surface.
Tables are designed with player comfort in mind, from the height of the rail to the angle of the armrest, reducing fatigue during long poker sessions. The rail height is optimised for elbow support, the armrest angle reduces wrist strain, and there is ample legroom under the table.
While the focus is on face-to-face poker, our tables include discreet USB charging ports and automatic card shufflers to streamline the game. USB ports at each seat keep devices charged, and the shufflers reduce downtime between hands. There are no electronic displays, preserving the offline atmosphere.
What You Can Play
The tables are ready for the games serious players love. Each game has its own rhythm, and our room is set up to support them all.
The most popular poker game worldwide, Texas Hold'em is a staple at our tables, with regular poker nights and tournaments. No-limit and limit variations are available, and frequent tournaments feature structured blinds. It is ideal for both new and experienced players.
For players seeking more action, Omaha offers four hole cards and complex hand possibilities, perfect for serious poker players. Pot-limit Omaha is a favourite among regulars, and high-low split variations are available. The tables are suited for the larger pot sizes.
A classic poker game that rewards patience and observation, Seven-Card Stud is offered on select nights for traditionalists. With no community cards, each player builds their own hand. The fixed-limit structure is common, and dedicated stud tables are available.
The Human Element
Sitting at our tables, you'll feel the weight of the chips, the texture of the felt, and the intensity of reading your opponents—an experience that online poker can never replicate. The tactile feel of premium chips and cards grounds every decision, while the psychological aspect of live tells and table talk adds a layer of strategy no screen can provide. There is also the camaraderie and competition among serious poker players, the quiet respect of a well-played hand, and the shared focus of a room that takes the game seriously.
Offline poker is not just about the cards. It is about presence, patience, and the people across the table.
