Just picked this off the pokernews website...

Another great step forward comes on the chip front. New chipsets have been ordered so that all events being played will have distinctively different colored chips. There will be a separate set for the Main Event, Mega-Satellites, Super-Satellites, Single Table Satellites, each daily event and the cross-over events playing a day two or day three continuation. This will end the concern that chips from one event were being introduced from lower buy-in events into other more lucrative payout tournaments.

A similar decision has been made on the card issue. Last summer there were many player complaints about marked or defaced cards and reused decks. This year the Series will introduce new decks for every bracelet event.


WOW! Now we are going to have hundreds of WSOP chips to choose from for our next group buy!!!

We are going to need our friend at Card Player magazine to pull double duty on chip pictures for us!!!!

Do you think that if the entire population of CT showed up at the doors of the Rio and demanded that they sell us the old chips they would budge?

We could all wish something like that could/would happen... Too bad they are going to destroy all of those pretty chips.

I have just come to the realization that I hate this friggin website.

It has made me such a chip snob, and given me urges to rob banks to feed my chip wants and needs.

I love all of you!

I think razz would be the obvious choice. The worst chips for a game that rewards the worst hand.

Lol, well said. I'm not sure why the Rio wouldn't just sell the used chips after the tourneys. They have to realize that there would be tons of interest in them. Plus, if they keep making new chips for each event, nobody would be able to reuse the old chips for future events. Maybe we should create an official petition asking them to sell the chips once they're done with them... It would truly be a shame to let so many beautiful chips simply get destroyed.

I'm sure RIO would love to make a lot of money selling the old tournament chips. But I don't think the gaming commission(spelling?) would allow it.

Had to.
