I agree that the race off theory does not hold water (In 2002 and 2003 the Main Event chip count was to the dollar) and the bigger chip race off's generally correct the overage. and also do not believe there was any cheating going on. I would be interested to see who if anyone's stack had a huge increase after that color change. I am sure that whoever made that color change had not been accustomed to $25,000 chips. I also agree that there needs to be better procedure than are out there today. The TDA will take a hard look at this and to this date has focused soley on rules and not on procedures.
