Life in Your Space | Poker Face

It’s a simple truth: some houses are just made for entertaining. And, as we recently caught wind of one such space—a beautifully redone gem in Harvard & Yale—we decided to invite a few friends over for sips, guac, and some “friendly” hands of Texas Hold’em…

Turns out, you learn quite a bit about your pals at the poker table…

The nicest folks can turn out to be total sharks, and those you thought to be formidable foes might actually believe that a straight beats a flush (hint: it doesn’t).

If you’re looking for the perfect spot to bring folks together (for the purposes of sussing out sharkiness or otherwise), we can personally attest that this one’s aces all around.
