Poker tournament organized by Lafayette poker players Eldon Elias and Ken Pyle, which attracted a "Who's Who" of notable professional poker players. The fourth annual tournament in 1989 was shut down mid-tournament when the district attorney ruled that the tournament was illegal (see "Archive").

According to The Gaming Table (2017), these TH&C chips were acquired by Dave Belluchi, a professional poker player, who used them at "Bellucci's House of Poker" (Santa Cruz, CA), until his sudden death in 1993.
