2 Million plus extra in Chips in World Series Main Event

[Montana Mike]

Something to PONDER:

Isn't it AMAZING that IF players were given 2 million in chips too many at the World Series Main Event, NOT ONE PLAYER brought it to the attention of the house.

Exchange mistakes happen all the time in poker, including at the cage, involving cash.

Humans make mistakes.

It is one thing to blame Harrahs for the possible exchange problem and inaccurate way of keeping track of chips - but to ignore the fact that NOT ONE PLAYER spoke up about the inaccurate exchange rate, if it happened, raises some serious questions about honesty and morals about poker players - especially since millions of dollars were at stake.

I think if the inaccurate exchange happened, that not one player spoke up, shows that basically POKER PLAYERS ARE DISHONEST and a serious morals problem with poker exsist.

If the exchange problem happened the other way, where the players were shorted, I am certain the house would have been notified.

Something to ponder!

Wow! I think you've stumbled onto something here. I'm sure the 2+2 community will be shocked to hear this news for the first time.

There's a poll in your crosspost; why not here?

Happened with about 22 players left.
So about 100K each.
Avg stack was 4M.
So each stack grew by about 2.2%.
Huge difference nobody could possibly not notice.

Serious question - is there any reason to think that the extras were distributed proportionately to chip stacks?

I personally seen a PLAYER NOTIFY DEALER THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO RECIEVE TOO MANY CHIPS, So if I seen this watching one colour up I am sure other instances of this happened. Which makes your post incredibly stupid as you obviously have no clue what went on at the WSOP.

Already a thread

You are a week late with your revelation.

And as noted, the average stack grew a whopping 2% while most of the 20 or so players were away from the table on break and came back assuming minimal competence by Harrah's staff.
But apparently the TD and the dealers were incompetent.
