Found this in a local weekly "Portland news and culture" publication.

Very well written story about a local guy who plays poker to the tune of about $800 a week. Seems there are a couple of makeshift poker palors here in town. I had no idea, just knew about the poker rooms at La Center and Longview WA. and the Indian casinos hereabouts. Maybe K. David has more on these. You might want to take a look at it, far better than the GeeWhiz! poker tripe you find in newspapers usually.
Don't ask about Black Bart chips, I ain't going after ANY. Besides, a photo in the story shows what appears to be rental chips anyway. Here's a nifty chip from a Texas cardroom that I believe I got from that Cigar Smith guy at the Riv last year.
