These chips celebrate two RGPers: Spencer “Zorak” Sun and Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, who both won major tournaments in 2000.

All chips in the 2001: A Poker Odyssey set have a common obverse (Buzz Aldrin holding Presto) with a different scene for each face featuring a space scene and a “Prestolith” (our version of a monolith). Notice also that there are 2 forms of the Prestolith. Development Notes Much consideration was given to switching back to Chipco International for these chips. Patrick sent this message to interested parties with a link to this image as to how chips would change from the original Paul-son design. ...

This theme is Las Vegas Neon. Each chip has a common obverse (BARGE XV and the Canadian or Maple Leaf Presto!) with a different Las Vegas neon sign for each face.

The first five chips in this set are dedicated to recently departed BARGErs. The remaining three chips show Don “TryThat” Perry in a variety of historic settings. The pink chip was given as a party favor for attendees Chris and Amy’s wedding, held at BARGE.

In 2008, the BCC again wanted to do bust-out chips, but octagonal chips were now limted to casino use. 47mm chips were made instead. These chips were produced by Chipco International. These chips were designed by Patrick Milligan.
