Many players have been complaining about the lack of big chips in play here in the Monster Stack as some players - such as Zachary Gruneberg - have been sitting with over 2 million in orange 5,000-denomination chips to go along with his 25,000 and 100,000-denomination chips.
Although the call for bigger denomination chips were made quite a while ago, it has taken until now for them to be introduced.
And unfortunately the only chips available are a brownish-oreo colored 50,000-denomination chip, and due to the lack of chips, only two racks totaling 10 million have been introduced into play spread amongst three players; Gruneberg, Bobby Byram and Sean Drake.
Zachary Gruneberg raised to 375,000 and Matthew Haugen three-bet shoved all in for about 2.6 million. Gruneberg called immediately.
Gruneberg: ![]()
Haugen: ![]()
Gruneberg sent Haugen to the rail after the board ran out ![]()
