WSOP Chip Count Mistake
8773 Players entered this year's WSOP Main Event. All, no doubt keen on a victory. Each started with 10,000 chips, meaning the total chips in action were 87,730,000.
However at the end of the final table when the chips were counted there were 90,140,000.
Harrah's seemed at a lose in terms of how to explain the extra chips.
Even when you take into account that some variance can occur due to chip race-offs, it is impossible for the race offs to account for such a large variance.
Either the dealers cocked up with some chip change overs or someone has been a little naughty. I'm sure security and monitoring will be extra tight next year. Certainly didnt effect the end result though. Jamie Gold proved unstoppable with a fine display of poker.
