To keep the crowd awake during this treacle-plowing exchange, the announcer is discussing the colour of the chips and how the gray chip was sepcifically selected in order to reflect the colours of the Betfair brand.

In truth, with the exception of the 5k and 25k chips, the colours of the chips have been well selected after what was a slight oversight during the latter stages of the World Series (red, light red & dark red anyone?).

My personal favourite is the yellow 1k chip with the black markings; it's a blogger's dream... not that I dream about chips or anything.

A Tentative Heads Up Encounter

[user3511]

The crowd has certainly died down a little in this heads up battle. Many were expecting a 'blink and you'll miss it' head to head, instead its been more like a game of chess. This is possibly to Annettes advantage, by quieting Tabatabais significant home support.
