accuracy of chip counts for tonight's wpt event

[Tom1975]

I was looking at the wpt website for tonight's show and noticed the chips counts seemed too high. David Minto is listed at 25,000,000; Matthew Cherackal at 14,400,000 and everyone else has 360,000-1,500,000. That seems kind of skewed for a final table, especially since it was a limit event.

I would imagine that they added a zero to each of those numbers accidentally.

Still, the fact that some people have either a ton of chips, or practically no chips is bizzare.

I mean 2,500,000 to 63,000 .... something seems wrong.

The WPT site shows 735 entrants at $10,000 each. Assuming each gets T10,000, that's 7,350,000 total chips in the game. If you knock a zero off the chip count for the top two (who are shown to have 25 mil and 14 mil), the chips add up to about 7 mil. With all the chips counts rounded to T10,000, that sounds about right.

That would make the stacks, in thousands: 360; 1440; 2500; 900; 1530; and 630.

They did, I believe.
