Interesting article. It's a little poorly written, but very interesting. If there theory is true, basically everyone that was in a position to make the color-up to 25K was given a tremendous edge over the rest. Given that most of these guys really wanted the final table, its not surprising to see that no one came forward and reported the error.

Harrah's is too cheap to buy new poker chips every year for the event. So of course people are going to try and cheat.

Ya...the $5+ million they held out for fees wasn't quite enough to cover the price of new chips.

Pretty dumb of them....considering they could've made several times the cost of the chips if they sold them after the event as "authentic WSOP chipsets".
