Cards they use at WSOP

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what kind of cards are used? I noticed they are less rounded, like the 0 in the ten is more square as is the Q. Also they had a box in the middle with a cream color that the respective suit symbols were in.

I found a picture

best place to buy?

I bought mine from CopagCards.com but I am sure you can get them cheaper from eBay.

The Copags used at the WSOP are not the "good" ones. If you buy the good plastic Copags (not sure of the price, but generally half the price of KEMs), you will be happy with your purchase. They are just as good as KEMs. In fact, many people whose opinions I've heard/read (including me) find the Copag's less slick and easier to shuffle than KEMs.

Either way, the high quality Copags and KEMs are both excellent. Copags are just less expensive.

There's no such thing as a "good" Copag card.

They all easily dent the same. It's a [censored] brand.

Copags are on par with KEMs in my opinion, and the price is good. I recommend them. They WILL wear over time, but they have 10-20 times the life of a pair of Bicycles in my experience.
