The post Winner of WSOP Tournament Almost Disqualified Over Bizarre Color Up Disagreement appeared first on Vegas Slots Online News.
Coloring up is a key part of most poker tournaments, as it allows dealers to occasionally replace smaller chips with bigger denominations. This reduces chip clutter and makes calculations easier when betting.
While usually it’s a routine process, coloring up in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event on Monday nearly led to disqualification for the leader. Tyler Brown had the biggest chip count in the $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em/Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack event when floor staff asked him to color up all his chips worth lower than 100,000.
He offered up 2 million chips because he wanted to keep a small stack of a lower denomination, with the staff asking for 3 million. After a heated back-and-forth, the floor claimed he never even offered 2 million chips, something other players at the table refuted.
Brown allegedly called the tournament staff liars and they contemplated disqualifying him
Brown allegedly called the tournament staff liars and they contemplated disqualifying him for his behaviour. Eventually he was able to continue by giving up the 2 million chips and serving a one-round penalty, going on to win his second WSOP bracelet and taking home $178,126.
The incident split opinions online, with some people backing Brown and blaming the floor staff, while others said that he should do what he was told.
