Mid-Round Color-Up?
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Apparently the structure sheet for this event called for the purple (T500) chips to be colored up at the last break. However, that wasn't done. Someone noticed that the called-for color-up didn't happen, and as a result the clock was paused to do the color-up. Most players were unhappy with this decision, because it means now that any odd-chip pots are going to result in an odd orange (T1,000) chip going to the high hand instead of an odd purple chip.
Allen Kessler, ever critical of structures, noted that the odd blinds of 3,000 and 5,000 are contributing to the problem. He felt that the proper blinds for this limit should be 2,500 and 5,000.
In any event, the color-up has been completed and play has now resumed.
