Stack My Chips Up

Chip-stacking, usually such a personal thing, one of the few ways available to players to express themselves at the table without being given a penalty for it, seems to have been clamped down on somewhere along the line.

Justin Smith's stack, for instance, was suffering earlier from being so large that he appeared to be all in, all the time as his stack crept out into the middle of the table -- but that has now thankfully been solved by constructing a gigantic pyramid out of the sprawling towers.

Meanwhile, Chris Elliott's style seems to have been somewhat cramped. For three days his stack was recognizable even when he was absent, the chips stacked up apparently by the dozen, tipped over against the edge of the table. Since the last break, however, his stack has been transformed into messy stacks of 20 like everyone else. I think someone may have had a quiet word...
