I played in a free-roll satellite tournament online (> 4000 players going for a shot at a seat at the WSOP) and was completely appalled by the "race" method they employed. I had 2 odd chips (I don't recall which denomination we were colouring up) and there were 4 higher valued chips up for grabs. After all the cards had been dealt out (1 for each odd chip, as usual) I was lucky enough to get the 2nd highest card at the table and was looking forward to acquiring a higher chip. To my surprise, the player with the highest card was awarded all 4 higher chips and the tournament continued...

I haven't been back to that site.

what poker site colours up their chips? i've never heard of that?!
