WSOP Chis Usage History – 2005 Bud Jones Rio Primary Set
In 2005 the WSOP was hosted somewhere besides the Binion’s Horseshoe for the first time ever moving to the Rio. These were commissioned to serve as the chips used for the ever-growing tournament fields at the World Series. They served as the primary chips in 2005 and 2006 but were replaced in this role by the 2007 Paulson Primary and Secondary chips in 2007. Between 2007 – 2013 (and 2015) the only times these chips touched the felt in a bracelet event was at the annual $500 Casino Employees Only NLHE events.
Not only did these chips continue to see playing time through 2019, they actually saw an increase in use in later years. In 2014 they were busted out for the 1.5k NLHE Monster Stack, the first time they were seen in a non-employee field since 2007. They later served as a tertiary set to the Paulsons seeing the tables 9 times in 2017, 14 times in 2018, and 19 times in 2019. They are usually used in low buy in specialty events like the Monster Stack, Little One Drop, Ladies Event, and some Giant and Colossus events. They were used in the 2015 WSOP.com NLHE online event that played the final table live in Las Vegas.
