We got a nice offer from the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno. 2 weekend nights free and a free slot tournament with some pretty good prizes.

The story of my twentieth BARGE. “Now it’s BARGE!”

Highlights: Won most ever at BJ, saw old and new friends, 100+cocktails; Lowlights: Worst poker results ever, Sunday hangover, broke phone, 2-3 backoffs

From the 2015 annoucement for the sampler sets: In everyone’s life there is a first time. The 2014 BARGE Main Event winner, Andreas “Andy” Wolfram, was inspired by his first time in Las Vegas and made the BARGE Virgin Experience his 2015 BARGE Chip Collection theme. Ron invited Andy to BARGE. Artist Mike McBride captured the iconic moment featuring Ron in a dress ensuring Ron remains a virgin forever at least in Andy’s mind. Andy had a fabulous sushi dinner represented by the tuna roll chip. Other fun virgin activities include playing the Sex in the City slots with a group of traveling positive EV nuns who were staying at the Queens, drinking Shirley Temple’s while other players were downing shots of tequila, trying to find the Virgo constellation while under the laser show in downtown Vegas, and finally losing his shirt while on the very funny craps tour across multiple casinos. We invite you to share Andy’s BARGE Virgin Experience by purchasing your own sampler set of the 2015 BARGE Chip Collection. ...
