i recently heard somewhere that Barry G had custom chips made to act as credit at the big game. so say you just lost a couple of 100k pots in a row, and you don't feel like running to the atm. obviously, you 're gonna borrow 250k from doyle, right?

i emailed barry (b/c i got the hook up like that(or...b/c he has an email to take questions at his website)). he responded, but didn't give me much info, only that blue chip made the chips, and that maybe mike endy could help me.

i forwarded his email to mr. endy with a solicitation for more info.

here's the response:

"100 Dimes" is on one side of the chip and a picture of the individual on the other side of the chip. The 9 guys are:

Barry Greenstein
Gus Hansen
Lyle Berman
Phil Ivey
Doyle Brunson
Bobby Baldwin
Chip Reese
Chau Giang
Johnny Chan

That is all of the information I can provide. We didn't take any pictures of the chips, so I don't have any images to send.

sorry, but i find this fascinating. fins, 2_hotty, and crew, can we have mockups of these, please? pretty please?

Didn't Barry write about them in Ace on the River? I always thought it was a great idea. Wouldn't that be a cool chip to have in your collection?

[Trojan man]

Not only those, but I'd like to get ahold of some of the Ace on the River chips.

What, like this one?

[2_hotty]

No Ten, like this one:




Oh, BTW, I REALLY want to see one of these chips Barry had made. Can we get more details from BC? Pattern, colors, etc.

I just flipped thru the book and couldn't find it. I know I'd heard this somewhere else. I bet it was on The Circuit. His son, Joe Sebok probably talked about it.
