Below is a BCC Bounty chip I had 2004 World Series of Poker Champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer sign for me today at BARGE.

I first met Greg at The Orleans Open a few years back. When I showed up for the BARGE No Limit tournament this morning Greg was at my table & we had a chance to talk during the 2 hours or so before the table broke up. I only had two chips autographed since we were both playing. It was only going to be one, but during a break I was talking to Chris Ferguson. I showed him the chip & he really liked it, so I let him keep it & Greg signed another one. THAT chip was suppose to be Ross Popple's chip. Sorry Ross! I have another one set aside for you. How did you do at the Mirage?

Next year Greg will be autographing some of whatever chips Harrah's has made of him for me & I'll have them available at that time. Greg will also be back in town a couple of times before the end of the year. If there is any interest here, I can get together with him & get some of the Horseshoe $1 Benny Binion chips autographed. I have quite a few racks of them in uncirculated condition, so I have more than enough to get as many as I need done. Greg will be home for most of August before heading to Los Angeles for the Legends of Poker tournament.

E-Mail me if you would like one & I can see what the interest is & then E-Mail Greg to set it up. The cost would be $2.50 a chip, which is the regular price I charge for $1 house chips.

I can also now say that I won a pot from Greg in a No Limit tournament. I was dealt Queens one left of the big blind. I made it $300 & everyone folded to Greg. Greg asked how much I had left & I told him $1,500. He raised me that amount & then turned over Aces after I called. The flop came with a Queen & I won the pot. Did me no good though as I finished about 45th out of 200 something & out of the money.
