For What It's Worth

There's something happenin' here. What it is ain't exactly clear. To explain...

Following that recent double up by Jared Hamby through James Taylor, there was some dispute about whether or not Hamby actually received what he was due from Taylor at the hand's conclusion. It took Hamby a while to count up the chips he'd won, and indeed, a hand was played before he was finished doing so. When he was finished counting, Hamby said he was short -- exactly 34,000 chips.

The tape was checked, and despite the objections of Hamby -- and many of the other players at the table -- it was determined he did receive the correct chips. They continue to discuss the matter over there, but it looks as though they are moving on.
