And think about it if it is the late phase of a high buying tourney, when ICM comes even more into the game and half a BB is worth 1000€.
And we hadalmost the same situation at the EPT Paris now, where also 2k in chips were missing in a 1.1K event. And they watched the camera immediately…
I don't think correcting tournament dealer mistakes many hands later after the fact is a good idea. Especially later in tournaments. Players make decisions based off of their stack sizes and the stack sizes of their oppenents.
Like you mention the ICM of a chip late in the tournament can be huge. People are making ICM decisions based on relative stack sizes and then the TD is going to unknowingly change those stack sizes after watching video for a random number of minutes?
That causes at least as many issues as it solves.
Point out dealer errors before the pot is pushed and don't expect alleged errors to get corrected post pot push unless they are significant enough to stop the tournament.
