Tombstone, Arizona USA

This table in the basement of the Bird Cage hosted the longest and most famous poker game in western history. The game ran non-stop 24 hours a day for 8 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Buy-in was $1,000 minimum and players often waited two weeks to get in. Many of the old west's most famous personalities played here. Note the floor is dirt. The tipped chair is said to have been exactly in that position when the last game ended.
