World Series of Poker -- Event #19 Official Report: This One's For Charlie Tuttle

At halftime of the 1928 Notre Dame-Army game, coach Knute Rockne reportedly told his players a rousing story about George Gipp, a great football player who died a tragic death. Stirred by the emotional sermon, the team returned to the field and ended up winning the game.

LOYAL TO THE GAME - Los Angeles CityBeat: It’s high noon on a Thursday, the last week in May, and the parking lot at Commerce Casino is full. Two years ago, vacant spaces would have answered the adjacent Santa Ana Freeway’s steady rumble with a forlorn echo. Not now.

The most common material types used today in the manufacture of modern poker chips are plastic, clay composite, and acrylic composite. Clay chips, the oldest of the bunch, have been manufactured in America since the late 1800s.
Back in the 1800s, poker players seemed to use any small valuable object imaginable. Early poker players sometimes used jagged gold pieces as well as chips – primarily made of wood and clay. By the 20th century, poker chip designs began to play a greater prominence, and the smooth edges of older chips gave way to chips with engraved slits to keep them neatly stacked together. Most recently, affordable plastic poker chips appeared in the 1940s.

Poker News: World Series Of Poker Greatest Moments
Poker News: World Series Of Poker Greatest Moments:
In the thirty five year history of the World Series of Poker, there have been many a memorable moment. It is the spot where history is made in our great sport. 2005 has a tremendous amount of promise in adding to that history, so I thought it might be time to look back at what have been some of the greatest moments of all time.
While some might notch up Phil Hellmuth's youngest ever win, the onslaught of the young players in 2004 or the effect of women in the same year (all great choices), these are the ones that I came up with. They are in no particular order, and I would be interested in hearing what some others might think are the greatest moments in World Series history!
