Where do the chips go? (1 Viewer)

This is a very open ended, probably impossible to answer question, but anyway.

I was watching the first season of late night poker:

And they are using what looks like ceramics and I love the colours.

I was wondering what might have happened to those chips? They would be so cool to own.

I suppose a player, or maybe someone involved with the show might have them. Maybe they're just sat in a storage room somewhere...imagine it!

That is the hugest table I've ever seen!

It's massive! Remember though, this was the birth of the holecard camera, so they were still getting it right.

Yeah jeez, how is the dealer supposed to reach and push the chips? Table needs a little robot or maybe some conveyor belts.

Not crazy bout the ceramics though but I wouldn't turn down a set.

"Anyway, when Marina Rado sat down to deal she ran into two minor problems. For one, the table was so big that she had to pitch the cards an extra two feet or so — a feat she achieved without making it look too odd. Reaching the chips, though, was an impossibility. The solution to this was to have the relief dealer standing around by the side of the table helping to drag the chips into the pot."

I bet its fun for a good dealer to pitch the cards that far. Sort of like target practice. But dealing with chips and mucked cards on a table that big is just dumb.
