this opens up a bigger issue, let us say someone added 100k chips and built their stack to 200k and removed 100k away, how would you ever find out ? i think as someone suggested RFID is the way to go, there should be a master count of chips all the time for someone to monitor
i cashed in this event so i don't really care if i get the buy-in back or not but i can understand how others feel strongly about it, i thought it was worth to mention this hand to give an idea on how having him with fake chips could have helped alter this game one way or another.
It was Day 2 and we are close to the bubble, I got moved to his table and he had lot of chips, raised EP with KQ this guy and one other caller, the flop was Kx2r, i c-bet and he raised HUGE, at that time it did not make any sense, he did not re-raise pre so AK is out of question, if he flopped a set wouldn't he get more out of me by just calling in that harmless board ? but didn't want to risk that many chips close to the bubble so i let it go, our table broke after that hand and he said he had set of 2s, i believed him that time but he probably was trying to get rid of his fake chips by donking ? he could have had set but i am saying if he was trying to get rid of his chips and i had some balls to call i would have won lot of chips from him the same way if i have made the call with top pair but he got lucky on turn or river i could have lost lot of chips as well so either way him trying to play those fake chips did have an impact on the game all the way.
