Come to find out player one had more than $80.
What’s the rule here?
The rule is Player 2 owes the non-hidden amount that player 1 has.
An exception may be made for hidden chips.

So if you are unable to see then you ask the dealer for a count. In this hand the player asked how much is it and the dealer told him 80. I am not sure if the dealer pull the chips and kind of them or was estimating off the stack but that’s what he told the player and that’s the player called.
2. To the best of my knowledge no the dealer did not break it down and count it.
3. About 10 inches bone-pressed.
4. After the dealer said 80 the other player immediately called.
I believe question 3 was really asking how much Player 1 actually had, not the actual height

I think if i'm in this room and have concerns about stack size, I'll have to make additional requests. If I'm player 2, can I request the chips be put into the middle and broken down so I can verify the stack size? How about permission to get up and walk to a place where I can get a better view? Can I call the floor over to verify the dealer count?
Most of the time, I'm the shorter stack, and how much the other player has isn't as important
I guess I should work on that...
