Big August Recreational Gambling Excursion
(Held around the first week of August every year in Las Vegas)

2009 Set
The theme this year honors IRC Poker. BARGE 2008 NLHE Champion Dan Chevrie worked with the BARGE Chip Committee to create this set.
The common "heads" or obverse side of the chip shows a computer displaying IRC Poker. Each unique "tails" or reverse side of the chip has a saying from "r00lbot."
