Wsop Chip denominations

PAUL-IN · #1 07-12-2005, 11:22 PM

just curious, i've seen the massive chip stacks in the cardplayer.com photos, and was wondering what the chip denominations are..anyone know? are the hot pink still worth $5,000? i thought those light blue ones were worth $25,000 last year?

taking a guess, but...
green - $25
black - 100
purple - 500
yellow - 1000
yelow/black - 5000
light blue - 10,000
red - 25,000

here's my stab at it...
there's no $25 as they've been raced off.
yellow: $100
light blue: $500
black:$1000
pink: $5000

i'm color blind(slightly) so i don't see any red on the tables other than the pink [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You are way off.

Green - 25
Black - 100
Pink - 500
Yellow - 1000
Blue/Purple - 5000
Black/Yellow - 25,000? (only ones I'm not sure about).

I really wanna see the 100k chips

What's with the lack of 5k chips this year? They're barely using any at all..

I expect the 25ks tomorrow and the 100ks the next day.

Assuming that the chips are the same as last year..

1000s are yellow base black edge spots (6?)
5000s are black base w/ yellow edge spots (4?)
10000s are pink/light blue
25000s are hot pink/black

They aren't using many 5ks tho. No 25ks yet.

Here are the imitation chipcos for comparison. Note: the $100 changed to the 'official' wsop design this year, i.e. the WSOp black/white chip logo

If you want some..

For the first time at this year's World Series of Poker, $50,000 chips are being introduced to the tables to reduce the size of some of the chip stacks. They are subtle chips, with a tan and brown color scheme that is reminiscent of the camoflauge used during Desert Storm and the Iraq War. In this tournament, those chips definitely represent some heavy artillery.

According to our sources, those are the highest denomination chips that will be used this year. A standard stack of 20 chips will be worth $1,000,000. (That's non-negotiable, so don't try cashing those in at the cashier's cage.) So at the final table, whoever ultimately wins will have a little over 56 stacks of chips. Picture it in your head, and then picture your favorite player sitting behind them.
