I recently added some $5,000,000 poker chips (WSOP Final Table replicas) to my collection. One of the tournaments I used to run was a November 9 Final Table poker tournament every year and it had the high denomination chips: $25k, $100k, $500k, $1 million. With the addition of the $5,000,000 chips I've been tinkering with a blind/ante structure. This is a rough cut of the structure I was thinking of:
These are the total chips I have:
TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE AND QUESTIONS:
- The tournament would last between 4 - 5 hours and there will be no re-buys, although I'm open to inputs such as 1 rebuy in the first 30 minutes or hour. I usually have a cash game table set up on the side for those who bust out early though.
- What should the starting chip stack be?
- Has anybody had luck using the Big Blind Ante structure? Any issues/controversies that have popped up using that new format where the Big Blind posts all the Antes?
- Anything else missing here?
Any inputs would be welcome.
The 2nd picture shown below is a $25,000,000 stack.
By the way the $25k and $100k chips are the standard 39mm size, and the $500k, $1,000,000, and $5,000,000 chips are ones I had custom made and are the larger 43mm size.
