A Chip and Chair
That unhappy scenario just played out at a table right in front of us. The player in the one seat saw his dreams crushed by those Aces and turned to walk out of the room. "Whoa! Whoaaaa!!" several players said before he got two feet. After the dealer sorted out the pot he had a single, solitary black chip to play with. Well, Jack Strauss was down to a single chip back in 1982, and he went on to win the World Championship. In fact, the huge poster of Strauss' grinning face is staring down at us from the Ring of Champions. Chip and a chair. Not the best situation to find yourself in, but still better than the rail.
