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?

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

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.

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.
