Let's Put the Chips on the Felt

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Voices were raised over at the far end of the vast Amazon Room so we headed over to find out what all of the commotion was.

"It's an angle," said an irate player, "Why hasn't he got hold of low chips?"

Upon further investigation, we discovered that an Asian gentlemen had brought a toy figure with him and had placed it on top of his stack of yellow chips. In the hands of this figure were 20,000 worth of orange 5,000 chips!

"He only likes to play with the big chips," responded the man.

The floor was called and the situation explained to him. It was ruled the figure had to let go of the chips and they had to remain on the felt on in the player's stack.

"See what you have done now? He was holding them for a whole level and nobody cared."

"Just because nobody noticed doesn't mean it's right," came the conversation-ending response.
