So what denomination chips were most frequently pocketed from prelim events?

A ton of $25 and $100 chips just seems silly (although maybe not).
Once you get deep enough in a $1500 prelim where you have $5k and $25k chips I would think you wouldn't want to part with them in that event.

Although maybe some short-stack guy who has gotten fairly deep pushes all-in and knows he is covered and is somehow able to palm one or two of the $5k chips from his stack since he knows he's about out of the tourney anyway.

Something like that seem plausible?


Still, for 2-3 million in extra chips this needed to happen several times.

sure you wouldn't want to part with them, that's why when you move all-in, get called and bust, and you're stacking off to see if you're covered, you palm a few of the bigs.
