Anyone who whines about the Official post of the day should lie down and suck on their pacifier.

I was formatting a similar list before I saw this post. I calculated total chip counts by table when I was doing so

Sum of chips for all three tables $56,220,000. With 5619 entries, that's very close to the expected total of chips. Wasn't there some question about this at one point in the last week? Maybe it was on RGP

I take it that they do not try to balance the tables as evenly as possible, as far as total chip counts?

Anyone think that the extra $2M in chips available to table 118 is an advantage? Or will the players move enough so that this won't matter?
