Change 100 reports (via PokerNews):
25,000 Chips Introduced
\”Hey, what are those green chips in your stack?\” asked a surprised Maya Antonius. A small stack of forest green chips sat atop her tablemate\’s stack of yellows and oranges.
He showed the chips to a curious Antonius– at the last color-up dark green 25,000-denomination checks were introduced into play.
Ms. Antonius looked a bit disappointed that she didn\’t have any… yet.
The arrival of these chips have been highly anticipated — not just because they are big — but because of the color troubles last year with orange, off-orange, and pinkish-orange all on the table at the same time.
All the denominations higher than 5,000 have changed this year, and even the floor staff doesn\’t now what they will be until they come out for color-up.
