If you add up pokerpages's chips you get:

$88,246,000

Every time you color up you "Add" chips to the tournament. 25's become 100's (+75) 100's become 500's (+400) etc... I'm sure the 2% comes from thousands of players coloring up over 5 days.

He may not be kidding, but he is wrong...

BTW, there may be "extra" chips in play, because of the people with Day 1B starts who got screwed and blinded off on Day 1A. At least two of them were allowed to come back on Day 1D.

While each one should be counted as two separate players for purposes of accurate chip totals, who knows whether WSOP officials were that smart.

No, he is correct...

Here is a supporting example, in very simplistic terms for all of you that have trouble following logic and would rather just flame the OP:

A three-table tournament (30 people). Each player starts with 8 green chips ($200). Therefore, each table has 80 green chips ($2000) in play.

The first ten players get eliminated, and one table is broken. From the broken table, 80 green chips ($2000) are distributed to each of the other two tables.

Let's say that 39 green chips ($975) is distributed to one of the other tables, and 41 green chips ($1025) is distributed to the other table.

We now have one table with 119 green chips ($2975) and one table with 121 green chips ($3025).

Let's say we now remove the green chips. At table 1, where we have 119 chips, 116 of the chips are colored-up to 29 black chips ($2900), and the additional 3 green chips are raced-off for one additional black chip ($100). Table 1 now has 30 black chips ($3000) that used to be green chips. (Btw, it's possible -- even likely -- that the green chips were distributed in such as way as more than three green chips were being raced off, but this is the simplest case).

Table 2 has 121 green chips, where 120 of them are colored-up for 30 black chips ($3000). Additionally, the one extra green chip is raced-off for one black chip ($100). Table two now has 31 black chips ($3100) that used to be green chips.

As you can see, the total number of black chips that used to be green chips is 61 ($6100), instead of the original $6000 that started as green.

Of course, it's POSSIBLE that the chips will work out exactly evenly, and no new chips will ever be introduced, but is is highly unlikely. Normally when you race-off chips, more chips are introduced, and the more tables that race off, and the more times you race off, the more new chips that are introduced.
