The "Green" Chip Leader: Todd Rebello

Steve Dannenmann has brought it to our attention that Todd Rebello (Table 5, Seat 5) may not be the chip leader with only 12,000 in chips, but he is likely the *green* chip leader.

The green chips are only worth 25 each, and are still in play solely to cover the antes. Rebello has about 60 of these chips, making his relatively small 12,000 physically look like a big stack.

While Dannenmann's table is having some fun with Rebello, many players consider a stack like that a sign of a good, aggressive player. Phil Ivey is known for accumulating a lot of small-denomination chips, because he steals a lot of pots and likes to have an intimidating stack. And any time you're being compared to Phil Ivey in poker, it's probably a good thing.

Unfortunately, whether he survives the day or not, Rebello's status as the green chip leader is doomed to come to an end in about two and a half hours. That's when the tournament staff will be coloring up all the green chips.
