Chip Stacking

Hi there,

I have a concern regarding chip stacking. Just the other day, I watched a live game. I’ve seen that the chips of one player were colored out with two colors. Also, he had his larger chips hidden behind the cheaper chips and had a cheaper chip on top of his larger chips. I don’t know why he exactly did such but I guess he wanted to deceive his opponents. Well, it actually appeared as if he had only stacks of cheaper chips.

Eventually, his opponent went all-in and unfortunately didn’t win the pot. Well, what’s surprising is that they later on discovered that they had the same amount of chips. Losing player was so upset and actually did question the rule about chip stacking and all. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you.

In a casino, larger denomination chips must be visible at all times as to prevent deception regarding stack sizes.
