I just found this little hole in the wall store in Santa Clara that carries all sorts of chips, tables, cards, etc...
It's nice for those who want to see, feel, touch items before buying. They have unbelievable deals on 500 11.5 sets (~15-$20) and decent deals on tables and such.
Anyway, here is their website.
