Negreanu challenges' chip values?

Lucy Alexis Liu · #1 07-19-2005, 11:29 AM

While riding a bike (A bike, implying it's not mine - not saying I stole it), I wondered what chipvalues are used in The $500,000 challenges between Darth Negreanu and <RANDOM PRO>. Since they start off with $500.000 each, the blinds being $4.000/$8.000, do they just have 500 x $1000 value chips? I mean... ? Since there is to mu knowledge no $4.000 chip.

Probably a stupid question, but hey...

I'd assume they use 5K and 1K chips.

i was watching them at Wynn--Barry greenstein and Negreanu that is....they used 5k chips and 1k chips...i think they had a few 500 chips in there too.

Ghazban beat me to it. I'd be almost certain that they use $1K and $5K chips.

Ok seems resonable. I care about such stupid details =)

They use $1K and $5K chips for the betting that I saw, but each of them had a stack of the large $25k chips as well.

Excuse me, but $5,000 chips are also "large" .

Well I agree on the "stupid" part anyway.

I think the $1 chips are for tipping. Hope that helps. although I played a tournament at the O'rleans once with Daniel and he tipped the cocktail watresses with $100's so i'm not sure.

there were at least 50 people crowded on the rail when he was playing that no-name guy in PLHE. the crowd was 5 feet from daniel and he sat there and ate a 5 course meal like he was home in front of the TV. he had lower denom chips on his right that were for tokes only.

i really wanted to ask for a bite of some spring rolls he had. btw, i could never eat a meal like that with a huge crowd hanging over me. however, the dude he was playing was popping up every other hand to drag off the eternal cig he had lit in an ashtray on the brush's stand behind him. funny how quickly the non-smoking rule is tossed when someone brings $500k for a game.
