The \"Ghost\" extra chips in the WSOP ME
 

Probably already discussed in some other thread but I couldn't find it.

At the end, it looked like there were more than 90 million chips. But 8773*10,000 = 87,730,000.

Can anybody explain the discrepancy?

On the PPV feed it was claimed to be from chipping up from race-offs.

Gold obviously found someway to steal them and add them to his stack. otherwise how would he have a chance to win

What was the last race-off they made? The 25k chips? and when did they made this one?

Assuming the chipcounts were accurate, it seems quite obvious ENORMOUS cheating occurred at some point. Richard Brodie's blog goes into the "chip race" theory.

at first i thought 4% of chips (phil gordon said this) was too much overall to be just in colorup difference. but if you figure like 10, maybe more, colorups its probably about right

It seems something got messed up between Day 6 and Day 7. The discrepancy went from ~500k to over 2m.

what are the odds ESPN even had an accurate chip count? You have to have a pretty big job going on to get that many chips into the tournament.

By this point (after day 6), they have a basically totally accurate chip count on everyone though, yes?
