Default Re: Why do they have those big piles of chips at the WSOP?

Apparently it looks better on TV although it becomes a pain to stack all of those chips.

Yep. The fishies...er...viewers don't want to see Raymer bet $1,000,000 by throwing in a single chip - they want to see a huge mound of chips, spilling all over the place.

At the HPT event I was in, they actually colored down some of the players to put more chips on the table.
