Default Re: How to add larger denominations earlier in a tourney

[ QUOTE ]
I understand the coloring up process, but I can't find anywhere how to add a larger denomination chip into play prior to it's turn in the color up process.

ie, say I started with $5, $25, $100 chips and wanted to add a $500 or $1000 when the $25 were being colored up to $100.

Would you just have individual players buy the larger chips to get them into play?
How is this handled in a huge tourney like WSOP or WPT events?
TIA

wow....


anyway, don't get too eager to try to color up chips. Unless your structure is VERY fast, you'll need lower denoms, especially if you use antes.

To switch out some of the lowest chips, you're going to have to get the cooperation of the chip leaders. They're the only ones who can afford to give up those chips. Do it at the same time you're coloring up the lower denoms.

Just don't let them get TOO low, they have to supply the rest of the table when needed.
