Color Change

"These black chips are messing with my head," said Shaun Deeb as he pointed at his stack.

Deeb was referring to the fact that each black chip is worth T25 and each green chip is worth T100. The usual format for tournament chips is for green chips to be worth T25 each and black chips to be worth T100. This difference has become one of the primary conversation points around the room.

Deeb suspects that there will be some mis-sized bets today because of the change. When it comes to poker, he's not usually wrong.
