Jesus. This guy has a problem. I can’t imagine why somebody who has $500,000 would steal $10k from the guy next to him.
ON CAMERA, WHEN IT WAS THE GUY’S ONLY TWO $5K CHIPS.
That’s like kleptomania.
That’s exactly what I thought. The guy was only shuffling like 6 or 8 chips. You notice that difference.if I suddenly added two more chips to the stack I was originally shuffling, I'd feel the difference and notice it.
It does. But I keep coming back to overall awareness. That guy’s stack is so close to his. I have a really hard time believing he didn’t notice that and didn’t notice that the guy had his two $5ks out front.Looks like he just took a fresh shuffle stack of chips from his main stack and started shuffling? That would make the "I thought I dropped two chips" even more believable
I think this is the most likely, but as @Anthony Martino commented, I can feel the difference when I'm shuffling chips quite quickly honestly. But I think it's stupid that Andy would try and "steal" the chips as they're definitely RFID tagged and HCL knows what the correct stack sizes should be.Looks like he just took a fresh shuffle stack of chips from his main stack and started shuffling?

I agree with this, plus his eyes darting towards them. If two of my chips hit your stack accidently, I'm definitely getting your attention before scooping them away just to make sure its obvious, I'm not reaching a stinky pinky out to scoot them towards my stack lol.I’m a compulsive shuffler and play a lot of linit where there are stacks er’ywhere.
Zero chance he thought those were his chips. You know how many you cut out to shuffle - it’s typically the same amount. With me, I do 10.
If I suddenly grabbed two random chips I’d feel it instantly.
Plus, he had just put those down to shuffle. The chips he picked up were after his first shuffle. You feel it if a couple slip out.
I’d like to see the 60 seconds before this to see if he started shuffling to scoop the $5Ks sitting outside his neighbors stacks or if he starting shuffling and just opportunistically picked them up - but he definitely intentionally grabbed them and knew they weren’t his IMO (unless he’s just never shuffled chips before which is obviously unlikely).

Sure, if you shuffled them for a while. But it looks like he’s just cut those out. I’ve played at Hustler and Bike and those chips are slippery but you still know what you cut out.having played at Hustler, those chips are slippery as hell (though I guess I've only touched the $5 and $100 chips, sadly not wealthy enough to have handled $5k). So I can believe mistakenly thinking that two chips just fell out of your shuffle stack.
But like others said, he got weirdly defensive about it.
what a shame, I always thought Andy was a standup guy.
Video shows all of thatis there any footage of him before the grab? how long were they out there for, did he eye them? does he always look down after one shuffle?
@BigSlick4523 that you?I think its all scripted, fake drama for views and attention.
Ah, I only watched the slowed down version. Clicked the links to the full.Video shows all of that
