Ben played a lot of poker at the Palms in the early 2000's.
He won the CA State Championship in June 2004.

George Maloof called me. He wanted a custom poker table and chips made for and shipped to Ben.
Chipco made the chips. The table was made by a custom poker table manufacturer in LV. It cost $5,000 to make plus shipping and setup to Ben's house. Delivered in Oct 2004.

Same table and custom chips were delivered to Kid Rock in May 2005.
