Does chip dumping occur in large brick/mortar tourneys like it does online, can anyone tell me. I was playing on Ultimate Bet for a $10,000 tourney seat with 150 ish people. When we got down to 3 tables, a large stack (small blind) made a tiny raise. The Chip leader (big blind) called with Q 6 offsuit. The flop came A K 3. The Small blind made a small bet on the turn into a tiny pot. The turn was a 2. Small blind small bet, and The chip leader made a massive re raise of 80% of his chips with absolutely nothing(no flush or straight draw) giving his stack to the other big stack.......

hahaha wha? It was probably a bluff gone bad... think about it. the sb keeps making these small raises and tiny bets... the chip lead guy probably thought he could get him off of his hand... maybe thought he held a king or ace with small kicker and would lay down to a huge raise... lots of online players get crazy with their chips when they have a lot of them so I'd say it was just a dumb attempt at a bluff. if it happened on more than one occasion where the player was giving all his chips to the same player all the time, then I would start to suspect something.

hahah... yeah I should try that... Lemme pay a few hundred dollars for someone elses buy-in and then hope that we get seated at the same table at some point when they still have a decent amount of chips to lose to me... haha
