I think the primary reason for going to $20k starting chips was to discourage "chip substitution" from prelim events, rather than seeking an improvement in the $10k event structure.

I've seen a report that a unique chipset will be used for the main event this year. So then the only reason would be to have a uniform chips/$ ratio for all the events.

yeah, i had been wondering what the biggest chip in play this year would be. will we finally get a 500k chip or somesuch?

some of the chip-towers that players had to build recently just look ridiculous imo.

I guess having players with monster towers makes it more visually appealing on television somehow in a "wow, he's got all those chips" kind of way.
But to me it just looks silly and cumbersome.

I half-think they would consider using $25 chips only and just have tables so full of chips that they wouldn't have room for cards in the middle.

oversized novelty 5 million chip for incoming final table chipleader, please. frisbee size would be best.
