Golden 2 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I believe it's a European thing - and yes they are high denomination Link to post Share on other sites
Rokuban 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 random question... what are the square chips that are being used for the WPT paris? Just high demnomination chips? Just curiousThe Aviation club de France is also some sort of game circle with -EV casino games (baccara, blackjack, etc...). Those squared chips are used in european casinos for high denomination. It is to be noted that, in the few existing legal french game circles (not in casinos, of course), once taxes, operating expenses, and wages have been paid, all profits go to charities. iirc, the ACF profits go to the widows and orphans of military pilots.

gkunit20 1 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 They are 10,000 dollers each. Why don't they have any 5,000 doller chips? Link to post Share on other sites
copernicus 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 They are called plaques, and they do come in denominations of 1000 and up. If they only used 10k plaques in the tourney it was probably to make counting stacks easier. Link to post Share on other sites

Rokuban 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 i said : i am a regular of the club and all the things you said were quite true. our club is quite small in theyear : 4tables of pokerIt's not that small. In usual times There are 5 tables in the cash games room, 3 more cash game tables in the corridor (which they don't always open), and 4 tournament tables in the little tournament room.During the regular tournaments, all of those tables usually have players and for the big tournaments, they add tables in the other parts of the club.but they now use (Dede the responsable of tourneys with 2girls and Isabelle Mercier for the wpt) new chips for the bog tourneys which seem to be the same as the vegas chipsAndre/Dede is a very nice tournament director. Isabelle Mercier is more "high profile" :oD Are you usually playing the thursday night's rebuy/addon limit HE tourney ? It's my favorite. I rarely miss one. Link to post Share on other sites
