Showboat will release their $20 WSOP Circuit event chip this coming Tuesday morning to coincide with the $10,000 buy in event. These chips will be available at the poker cage. I will post the exact time over the weekend. There were 1,000 pieces minted.

With that kind of money for a buy-in ... not too many folks on this message board are in the WSOP tournament to begin with in order to harvest any actual tournament chips ... so what we're usually left with are the generics with no casino name on them.
