I'm watching the feed of the GUKPT event.

It's currently 3 handed but the table has just broken and all players are away from it.

As the Tower stepped away and the camera still ran I noticed that the GUKPT updater (Peter Leeper is it?) was counting Jakes chips. He removed a small stack from the front to give him better visibilty of the stacks behind it and then put it back.

Should he or any other updater ever be touching a player's chips?

Hijack I know- who's left in?

Obviously not, he should ask the TD or someone if he needs details.  To protect himself from any accusations of  impropriety if nothing else.

jake big CL 3 handed.

fabian quoss and lalit khajuria other 2

was the dealer still at the table, supervising?

I would ask the dealer to do a count for me, which I believe would be the right thing to do, unless I was doing a "guesstimate" by sight only

Not in a month of Sundays should he, or anyone ele in his capacity, touch those chips. And Peter, who has been around the scene for half a lifetime, knows better.

I'd have him shot.

It's his last day on the job. He gets the push after today according to tower earlier in the week

And?

I don't think so but can't be sure.

I only saw him in the frame.

A short while after (short while being somewhere between 30 secs and 5 mins) I did see a supervisor/TD looking over him/helping.

Not correct to phrase it like that, I believe Peter has chosen not to do them next year.

Do you think your Jeremy Clarkson or something?  8)

defo shouldn't touch chips ofc. I go mad when people touch my chips to do chip races and stuff. (if they aren't a dealer/td/etc)

mbn to make the chip race stage

but its ok for your mate to take over your games while you nip to the shop :)

nonononononono, not what I said ffs ;)


yeah, [ ] thin, I no.

loli know...trying to get a biteon multiple threads :)

this is the internets man. gots to be serious all the time. no joking here. ^^

Never touch chips unless TD is there and has given me supervised permission. (happens occasionally with TDs who can't be arsed/trying to get count through quickly)

meh, don't think you should be touching them even with permission and supervised, you're a 3rd party gtf off my chips

tbf I agree with you, but if its a 9 handed FT with cameras and TD has 2-3 mins to do a chip count then I'll quite gladly help. Very very rare for me to do this though, can probably count the number of times I've done it on one hand with fingers to spare.

Might not have fingers to spare if you count gatso's chips.
