Default Chip structures and chip creations

This was a phase a few years ago and some awesome structures were created.
Does anyone have any photos of their past creations?
Or know anyone that still practices this art form?
Please email me,
TIA,
Annie

I saw a pic of Chris Ferguson next to one of his creations in some poker mag. It was awesome. He had just won a chip-stacking contest.

He has a degree in engineering or something. Letting him in the contest just didn't seem fair.

Scroll down to the last 4 photos.

And none of these were as impressive as the Ferguson one I mentioned above.

I should also note that mine was at a 2/4 game. Can I get extra points for having 750 BB on the table?

I saw one at Caesar's In once that was a bridge. I think t was the pot limit Omaha game, it often has large amounts of chips on the table.

Is that 750 big blinds or 750 big bets?

Most chips I've ever seen on the table (in front of one person) was 2600, also at a 2-4 game, which would be 1300 big blinds or 650 big bets. I only remember this distinctly because after racking up he tried to lift them all at once and dropped all of them on the floor.

I think Furgeson's degree is in computer science.

That was big bets. I kinda cheated by going upstairs to a craps table to get a purple chip ($500) and an orange chip ($1,000).

The night before I spilled a rack on the floor when I was pick up with about 14 of them from another 2/4 game. I should mention that I was shitardedly drunk both times.

The floor came over to bitc[/i]h at me since our game was evil in their eyes. One said, "When that falls over it is the property of whoever finds it." To which I responded, "I have 1,000 chips on the table. If this falls everyone is going to find it."

She didn't like that.
