All He Needs is a Moat

There is a very large color-up scheduled for the end of this level, when the black and blue 100-denomination chips will be removed from play. Typically, as the break closes in, one player on each table starts buying up all the 100s from their neighbors but Jesper Hougaard already got a jump on this task. Hougaard has long relieved his opponents of their 100s and constructed a chip castle that while not as architecturally spectacular as a Carlos Mortensen creation, by its sheer size dwarfs anything the Matador has ever built.
