Chips in the Main Event

HouseBlouse · #1 07-17-2005, 04:03 AM

Anyone know what type of chips they used in the main event and where I could get a set? They felt like plastic, but i really liked those chips over any other chip i've ever used.

I'm almost positive that those kind of chips aren't available to the public. The reason for that should be pretty obvious.

i just want to know who the genius was that decided they could make the souvenir chips look EXACTLY like the $100 chips used in the tourney except with out the denomination stamped on them.

brilliant, in my opinion.

u can thank Harrahs for that $100 problem. they have that new logo with the black chip and im sure they wanted a look a like chip like that in play. i still dont think people were trying to pass them off, i think they probably just got mixed in because someone threw it in as their card protector by accident.

yes these WSOP chips are Bud Jones. probably my favorite chip. Many casinos use them. The LV Hilton is one example. they are composite plastic but the quality is unmatched.
