Speaking of Counting Chips...

It always pays to know exactly how many chips you have and exactly how many chips your opponents have. A three-way all in hand took place on one of the outer tables. The reveal gave us the following hands:

Player 1: {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
Player 2: {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Player 3: {J-Clubs} {j-Spades}

The board rolled out {7-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, giving Player 3 a set of jacks. Player 1 collected his belongings and left the tournament area.

However, when the stacks were counted down, it turned out that Player 3 was the shortest of the three stacks. He won the main pot, but a side pot of 11,000 was created between Players 1 and 2. The jack on the turn gave the now-departed Player 1 a pair of jacks to win the side pot.

11,000 chips are now being blinded and anted off, one hand at a time.
