2011 Chip Set - Reindeer Games
This year, the theme is
"Reindeer Games." Each chip in the chip set has a common obverse showing a
reindeer in a sleigh being pulled by a set of cards. Standard chip colors
are used. The BARGE 2010 NLHE Champion, Chuck Humphrey, came up with the
theme.
This year's chip set pays homage to the wide variety of poker games that are
played during BARGE. Saturday night after the banquet is the prime time to
sign up for these games, but they are often in play throughout BARGE week.
