Another Saturday night of fun at Club One!

Saturday, July 19th was another big night of action at Club One Casino!

We had 77 entrants in our nightly tournament, including popular poker writer and $3k Bellagio event winner Tony "Bond18" Dunst and APPT tournament player Celina "BondGirl" Lin in the field with $50 bounties on their heads. Tony final-tabled but finished 10th shortly after his pocket jacks failed to hold up against KQs. Club One regulars all commented on Tony's impressive Bellagio bracelet and how nice both Tony and Celina were to play and chat with.

In our Sports Bar, local UFC fighter and Club One favorite son, Jason Von Flue, was on hand to watch Anderson Silva demolish James Irwin in the feature UFC fight live from the Palms. We also had the Bud Light girls handing out entries to the Bud Light Party Cruise and taking photos with Club One customers. Don't miss the next UFC fight on August 9th! It'll be another full house at Club One!

La Grand Laveuse - Renoir

Next time you're in downtown Fresno, take the short walk from Club One Casino to the Fulton Mall and check out the bronze sculpture, La Grand Laveuse (aka Washerwoman) circa 1917-18. It's a classic piece directed by Pierre Auguste Renoir, one of the most famous artists in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and one of only six original castings worldwide. Other castings can be found in Fontvieille Park, Monaco, the Tate Collection, the Philadelphia Art Museum and Washington University in St. Louis. Renoir was a celebrator of beauty and sensuality and the piece is a fine representation of his style. Come in to Club One for lunch and have one of our friendly hosts lead you to it!

The Loft - George Garcia

There are a surprising number of cool things to do in downtown Fresno in between sessions at Club One Casino. For example, tucked away on the 2nd floor of the historic 1060 Fulton Mall building (aka the Security Bank building) is a brand new, upscale hair salon called The Loft.

The interior of the salon is urban hip with exposed brick walls and polished concrete floors, accented with antique chandeliers and mirrors throughout. The stylists on staff have been hand-picked and trained by local uber-stylist, George Garcia, and offer a complete array of services including haircuts, coloring, highlights, conditioning treatments and more. The salon is less than a five minute walk from Club One. Call for an appointment or just walk-in and visit them today.

Club One to host 1st Annual Central Valley Poker Championships

Earlier this month, Club One Casino announced it’s hosting the first annual Central Valley Poker Championships from Sunday 8/3 through Saturday 8/9. The week-long series of events will include a variety of deep stack events and will culminate in a $500 buy-in main event with a guaranteed prize pool of $50,000. In addition to winnings, players will accumulate points in each event played, with the overall point’s winner to receive an Overall Champion bracelet.

Club One Director of Tournaments Brian Masterson commented, “We think it’s time for Central California to have a legitimate tournament series comparable to what you’d find in Southern California or Las Vegas. In the last few months, we’ve established Club One as the premier tournament location in the Fresno area with the biggest prize pools and best structures. It’s obvious that there are a number of good players in the area and we think they’ll appreciate the chance to compete in a series of even larger events and prize pools.”

“The CVPC will have a week-long series of events including NL and other events with increasing buy-ins. We’re going to have a celebrity charity event on Friday, August 9th, and our main event the following Saturday will be a $500 buy-in event with a $50,000 guarantee. All of the events will start with 10,000 chips and have 30-minute levels. If you’re a good tournament player, you’re going to love these events.”

Contact (559) 497-3000 and ask for the Tournament Desk for more details.

Karaoke's Back at Club One

On July 26th, from 7p to 1a Club One Casino will be presenting another Karaoke and DJ party in its banquet room.

Karaoke will be from 7p to 10p and the DJ party will be from 10p to 1a. Admission is free!
