Fort McDowell and Bison Homes held what was billed as their 1st annual charity poker tournament today this chip was given to all the players. Their were 308 players to start the tournament. I asked two of the tournament directors how many chips were made and got I do not know from both of them. I have one extra chip that is Greg`s if he wants bad enough. For those interested my tournament story follows.

The big lure to poker players to enter this tournament was the second place prize, a seat in next years WSOP main event. First place was a bracelet "valued at $12,000" try to get that much at a pawn shop. The feeling by everyone I talked to was if they got heads up they would try to tank it for second place. That was my plan, but I went out in the low 40`s. There were prizes and cash for 30 places. I played pretty well, but never got much to work with and was only unhappy about the way I placed one hand. I wish I had slow played AA I may have gotten more chips from the hand.
