Well ahead of the competition in terms of price, the Akke Functional Art design studio really went out of its way to create the most expensive poker table out there, which is called “All in.”
Made out of 15 types of rare wood species, this table took nearly 600 man-hours to build. However, if you were thinking of buying this work of art, you will be disappointed as it was given away as a prize to the World Poker Tour’s Season XI Player of the Year. The lucky winner was Matt Salsberg who managed to make three final tables and win one WPT title that year, giving him a comfortable lead in the POY race."

From Axel Yberg:
The name “All In” has a dual meaning. Most importantly, it is an acknowledgement of my appreciation for everyone that has been a part of helping me build the Akke brand. From the beginning, this has been a team effort and everyone involved has given it their all. On a personal level, it symbolizes the fact that when I commit to something, I give it everything I’ve got; mentally, physically, and emotionally. When I’m excited about an idea, the first thing I say is, “I’m all in!”
“All In” required over 600 man-hours of labor to create. The surface was constructed using fifteen species of exotic wood (including: Madagascar Ebony, Rosewood, Purple Heart, Zebra Wood, Wormy Maple, English Brown Oak, Black Locust, Claro Walnut, Quilted Maple, Sycamore, Cherry, Catalpa, Black Walnut, Quarter-Sawn White Oak, and live-edge Ash). The base was fabricated with gold-painted plumbing pipes and fittings, and Edison Reproduction Light Bulbs.
The vectors that bisect each angle on the perimeter of the table are made from Madagascar Ebony and Rosewood. Their colors, black and red, represent the suits in a deck of cards. This idea is carried into the turnbuckle drink holders, which are designed as a quadrant of Black Walnut and Cherry. The organic nature of the live-edge Ash on the perimeter of the table symbolizes the fact that the game of poker requires complex thinking, as opposed to a systematic game like Black Jack. To be a successful poker player, you must have plenty of skill, nerves of steel, and a good amount of luck. The steel horseshoes that surround the WPT logos symbolize that combination. The five diamond cutouts in the center of the table are a nod to the legendary Doyle Brunson and the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic. And of course, the gold pipes that make up the base represent the bling associated with Las Vegas.
This poker table wouldn’t exist if it were not for the generosity, excitement, and total belief in me that I received from my good friend Matt Gai and his wife Jenn. They funded this table (and it was very expensive). I am extremely thankful for this. In addition, Matt, an avid poker player, was instrumental in consulting with me regarding the necessities of creating a functional poker table.
....which you obviously totally ignored.

We're done here, people . Everybody go home. This thread is over. Maybe archive this one and start a new one.

This is a custom made poker table top that I am selling. This poker table top can fit 10 players plus dealer comfortably. The felt is red and has no tears. I am selling the table top ONLY and the bottom legs are not included. Weighs approximately 100 lbs. Buyer will need to pick this up on your own with truck
The felt has no tears, my liver has no holes, but both have plenty of wear.
