"11.5 gram chip-3 colors-52-500 set chip cases made for the stars as welcome gifts."

Each star that played was given a 500 chip set in a case. Made for Celebrity Poker Showdown IV. Filming started in April 2005.

"I wonder why they decided to discontinue the show after so many seasons?"

They moved it to Harrah's in New Orleans. I think they only did one down there. Real poker on TV took off. Ratings fell and they were done.

From the start mom and pop, kitchen table poker players and celebrity watchers was the audience and ratings were A1 until they moved to NO.
