Re: New chips at Trump Chicago
They were backup chips, kept in the vaults for emergency situations. They don't need to keep them in the vaults since they are going to switch chips soon again anyway.

Re: AP club just got busted

The last I heard there are poker rooms in the Excelsior (Holiday Inn) and The Casino (Radisson) in Aruba. I'm not sure if that is technically in the Carribean or not. I hope that helps.
