Charette Refuses to Color Up

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We walked by and noticed that our current chip leader, Simon Charette, was talking with one of the tourney directors. Apparently Charette was being advised to color his chips up, as there are now 25,000 green chips being distributed.

"They say it's unlucky," Charette said. "I'm going to listen to my buddies on this one."

Everyone, including Charette, will have to color up their blue 500 denomination chips at the end of the 18th level, however, for now, Charette will continue to flaunt the vast mountain of chips he has in front of him.
