Ok, I don't know why I thought of this but the question came up and I was wondering if you guys would ever be tempted to do this. If you were playing in the Main Event (or some other WSOP tourney, ME would be easiest because the total volume of chips in play) would you ever be tempted to pocket some of the chips and keep them permanently if you could get away with it? I suppose the situation I'm speaking of would be if you were doing very well in the tournament, and you had enough chips that at each level, taking a few of the ante level chips off wouldn't negatively effect your stack size to amount to any significance. i.e. you have 50k in chips and you take off 8 25 denom chips (200 total), then later you have 135k in chips and you take off 5 100 denom chips, etc...
