This set was designed by Mike Zimmers. Since Mike forgot to order enough chips for the 300 chip prize for the 1997 NLHE winner, the BARGE chip tradition changed. Steve Brecher became the first BARGE NLHE winner to get the right to design his own chips, for distribution at BARGE 1998.

Next set: 1998: No Suck Outs
Previous set: 1996: Presto! Irwin? with the Horseshoe Logo
