Can someone link me to the WSOP’s structure that shows they race off chips? I found it last week and I can’t find it now. A guy in my home game says they round up, not race.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is chip racing and how does it work?
When it's time to "color up" the 25's, they'll take all your 25's and give you bigger chips (100's or 500's) in the same amount. But if you have an odd amount, they have to either race or round up. If they're rounding up, you'll just get another 100 chip, whether you have one, two, or three exta 25's.Forgive my ignorance, but what is chip racing and how does it work?
Best explanation I’ve seen:

Edit: unfortunately it looks like the image links are broken. Too bad...it was a great article.
Sometime around the time you posted that, Miles asked Jack if they were getting bigger chips. Jack said something like no, but they might get some !0,000,000 chips for next year.Speaking of color up, they need to add a $5M chip. Too many yellow $1m chips on final table.
I'm pretty sure I would have told Jack that I'm sitting over here to get a good view of my opponent and his stack, and if you want me to lean back all the way over there to scan my card awkwardly, each hand, I'll do that.I don't mind at all the number of T1M's on the table and would rather not see larger denominations. While it was a great heads up match what bugged the fuck out of me was their constant use of the T100Ks when betting... it was awkward and time consuming watching them deal with the pointless denomination chips. Just raise to 7 or 7.5M, stop with the 7.2 and 7.4 shit already (and was far worse before they colored up the T25K).
Well, that and whoever decided on the seating and cash placement was an idiot. Guys are playing for 3.8 million dollars and can't see each others chips, are you kidding me?
