Aria rack with $8MIL+ (1 Viewer)

Nice picture of Aria rack with hi denom chips. Good to see proper stacking & use of lammers for easy visual breakdown/counting.

Looks like $8,681,500.

I agree with one of the comments posted to the blog- I have never heard of a 25K (or other) chip being called a melon.

These are wonderful.

Oh my!! I'm drooling!

Nice pic!

Side note: while working in the casinos, I got the impression that the plastic spacers between chips are also called lammers. While this is common, it's not correct - they are just spacers.

Lammers have text on them, like those numbered lammers in the front of this photo for tracking commission.

I've heard of the Bellagio $25Ks being called cranberries and the $100Ks being called flags. Probably similar here.

The $1000 and $5000 chips here will be named the "courage" and "butler", they know why.

Pretty sure Bellagio's "flags" are the $5k chips (red/white/blue). I don't think I've heard a nickname for the $100k.

You are right, the 5K are the RWB chips the 100k is not my favorite of the lot.

Yeah- 5K Bellagio flags have been mentioned in various places (The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King, High Stakes Poker tv, etc.). The Poker Central "Aria 250K Super High Roller Cash Game" episodes specifically show all the chips from $100 to $100K and AJ Benza has called the Aria $5K chips flags for sure.

Good point. Spacer is indeed the proper term for the clear separator.

So a bet of $6000 would be a courageous butler?

It is now.

Wow. Talk about taking a keepsake from your trip there.

semi-related pr0n from Patrick Antonius' twitter feed. not quite as baller as the OP but just as sexy imo.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Jesus, he's sitting with north of 300K right there!!!

 

[Chicken Rob]

Just under $325k? I'm calling that baller.

Bobby's Room is the room at the Bellagio I believe where they play high stakes

i meant what does he mean by "going to miss the games" there....

 

[Anthony Martino]

Maybe the games have moved to a new location and aren't hosted at Bobby's Room anymore? I dunno

That's a nice little 10-player tournament set. Not too far off today's market prices, either....
