If you add up all the chips at the final table it comes to 90,140,000 ( figures taken from poker pages )    8,773 players entered  should be   87,730,000 chip in play  where did 2,410,000 come from or where did $2,410,000 go?

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

do they not sometimes exchange extra chips at colouring for a chip worth more than the loose ones?

87400000 according to cp.   Cheesy

Hard to count exactly i imagine.

Colouring up can't always be exact either is it ?

i asume the chip numbers to be exact, player have to count there chips exactly at the end of each day,and these figures are published.  colouring up will add to the total number but  2,140,000 ? no way

From ESPN blog.....

With 8,773 entrants in the main event, there should've been $87.73 million in chips in play Thursday, but there were $90.14 million on the table.


"Racing for chips,'' said Gary Thompson, director of sports and entertainment marketing for Harrah's. "All the color-ups. We've had at least six.''

It seems like a lot of extra chips, around 3% of the total.

Can any TD's tell us what %age is usual ?

i think colouring up would add an additional 300k maximum  a realistic figure would be  130k
