Every Pot's a Monster

By the by, it looks terribly exciting every time a player wins a pot - not because the pots are actually large in real terms, but because of the unusual chip denominations in play.
Usually at EPTs, by this stage the chip denominations would be 100k, 25k, 10k and 5k. But here in Deauville, they are currently using the denominations 100k, 50k, 10k and 1k. With the ante still at 5k, that makes for an awful lot of tiny denomination green chips in the middle at the start of every hand. There were some 5k chips in play, but they were removed yesterday on the grounds that they are almost exactly the same colour as the 100k chips, which could have hilarious consequences. So until the ante increases to 10k, every pot is going to consist of a vast mountain of almost worthless chips.
