🦈🎉 WHAT A FANTASTIC LAUNCH AT THE RAILWAY TAVERN! 🎉🦈

Yesterday we had the pleasure of launching our newest Royal Sharks Poker venue at the Railway Tavern, Newport, and what a brilliant afternoon it turned out to be!

A huge thank you to Chris Squires, who went all out to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience. It's always great to work with landlords who are genuinely enthusiastic about creating a great poker night for their players.

The atmosphere throughout the tournament was exactly what Royal Sharks Poker is all about. Friendly competition, plenty of laughs around the tables, and to top it all off, the players were treated to some free food during the break! 👏🍕♠️

Congratulations to Paul Hickman on taking down the tournament and picking up his first win of the season! 🏆

That's a brilliant start to the campaign and puts him well on the road towards earning a coveted place in the £5,000 Megalodon Championship. 🦈👑

We'd like to wish everyone at The Railway Tavern every success with their new poker night. If you're local to Newport, we'd love to see you there.

📍 The Railway Tavern
Newport, TF10 7EJ

🗓 Every Sunday
🕓 Cards in the air at 4:00pm

Come along, meet a great group of players, enjoy a fantastic atmosphere, and start building your own poker legacy.

Build your legacy. Swim with the Sharks. 🦈👑

🎉 We’ve had an absolute blast at The Post Box Sports Bar - Newbury tonight! 🎉

What a fantastic launch and a brilliant first game of poker! 🦈♠️

After Royal Sharks Poker founder Martyn Everitt managed to win the poker tournament… the team decided to try and get their revenge on the shuffleboard… then the interactive darts… and THEN the interactive shuffleboard…

Safe to say… he won the lot! 😂🏆

Looks like we’re going to need some stronger competition up there next time! 💪

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made the launch such a great evening. We can’t wait to be back!

If you’re local and fancy giving poker a go, whether you’re completely new or an experienced player, come and join us. Everyone is welcome! ❤️

🦈 Happy Shark Awareness Day! 🌊

Today is Shark Awareness Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of the vital role sharks play in keeping our oceans healthy and helping to change the misconceptions that often surround these incredible animals.

With a name like Royal Sharks Poker, it felt like the perfect opportunity to celebrate our own Sharks too. 🦈👑

Being a Royal Shark has never just been about winning tournaments. It's about turning up week after week, supporting your local venue, respecting your opponents, improving your game, and building a poker legacy you can be proud of.

What has been your proudest Royal Sharks Poker moment so far?

Was it your first win? Your first trophy? Qualifying for a major event? Meeting new friends? Or maybe it's simply the great nights you've had around the tables...?

Who's appearing top of these leaderboards next season?

🦈👑 JASON'S GOLIATH JOURNEY STARTS THIS MONTH! ♠️

Back in February, Jason Daniels won the Royal Sharks Poker Megalodon Championship, earning himself our £5,000 sponsorship package.

That sponsorship was created to give our players opportunities they might not otherwise have, and this month Jason is using part of it to take on one of the biggest poker festivals in Europe... Goliath!!

It's brilliant to see one of our own getting this opportunity, and I know everyone involved with Royal Sharks Poker will be right behind him.

📅 Jason's Goliath Schedule:

🔥 Friday, 24th July
Monster Stack - Day 1C
🕕 6:00pm

🦈 Saturday, 25th July
Goliath Main Event - Day 1A
🕚 11:00am

💰 Sunday, 26th July
Cardroom Direct Mystery Bounty - Day 1A
🕕 6:00pm

Jason has put a lot of work into his poker over the last year, and winning the Megalodon was a fantastic achievement. Seeing him now heading to Goliath as part of that reward is exactly what the sponsorship was designed for.

Of course, Jason won't be the only Shark making the trip to Coventry...

We've got plenty of Royal Sharks players heading to Goliath over the coming weeks, all chasing their own goals and making memories along the way. Whether you're taking your first shot at the festival or you're back for another year, I genuinely hope you all have an incredible experience.

🍀 Best of luck to every Royal Sharks player representing the league. Enjoy every minute, play your best poker, and hopefully we'll be celebrating a few deep runs over the next couple of weeks!

We'll be following Jason's progress throughout the festival, so keep an eye on the page for updates... and who knows, maybe we'll have a few more Sharks making headlines too! 🦈👑

🦈 Help us spread the word...

Every week we see players achieve things they never thought they would.

Some win their first tournament. Some qualify for bigger events.
Some earn trophies they'll proudly display at home. 🏆

But what we're proudest of isn't the trophies or the sponsorships. It's the community that's grown around them.

That's exactly what Royal Sharks Poker was built to be.

A place where you can improve your game, build your confidence, create your own poker legacy and become part of something bigger than just one poker night.

The six images below tell that story far better than words ever could...

If Royal Sharks Poker has given you a great night, helped you improve, introduced you to friends, or simply given you somewhere you enjoy spending your evenings...

❤️ We'd love it if you could give this post a share. ❤️

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Build your legacy. Swim with the Sharks. 🦈🦈🦈
