Chip Race

A chip race is a possible process in poker tournaments.

For larger poker tournaments that happens with increasing blinds that with those chips that are no longer used because of their low value, an exchange ( Color up) takes place. $ Chips in a 50 - - For example, five 10 are exchanged $ chip when the blinds at 50/100 are $ increased and the 10 - $ chips have thus become superfluous.

If you can not completely exchange the chips, the remaining chips are rounded. If the value of the surplus chips closer to the upper limit is rounded up, others are rounded down ( for example, one obtains for four 10 - a $ 50 chips - $ chip, for eleven 10 - $ chips two 50 - $ chips. )

Now, if a player has only two 10 - $ has chips, the chips go in the pot. After all players have placed their non- exchangeable chips into the pot on the table, there is the actual " chip race". For each chip is not convertible, the players get a card dealt face up in each case.

Either the player with the highest card wins all the chips, or the chips are distributed to the valence of the cards accordingly. Thus, the player with the highest card would get the first chip with the next lower the next chip, and so on.

A player may by such a "color up" does not drop out of the tournament. Are the collected chips, the last which he has owned and he would not get a chip for bad cards in the Race for chips, so he must at least get a chip from the dealer.
