WSOP Chip Usage History – 2007 Rio Secondary Paulson Set
This Paulson set was introduced in 2007 to partially replace the Bud Jones chips primarily used at the WSOP between 2005 - 2006. They have been used in conjunction with the Paulson primary set since 2007 but are the secondary chips used in most (but not all) smaller tournaments and non-NLHE fields. The core lower denominations version 1 chips were replaced by the new version 2 chips in 2018.
The following chip uses apply to bracelet events only.
5 Royal Red
Years Active – 2007 – 2014
First known use - 2007 Event 14 $1,500 Seven Card Stud
Edgespots - 8A18 style 19
Edgespot Colors – Bahama Blue and Mustard
Most people not overly familiar with the WSOP's history might be surprised how often a T5 chip has been used. Between 2007 and 2014 they were used as ante chips in early stage $1.5k and $2k entry draw and stud tournaments like Seven Card Stud, Seven Card 8OB, Razz, and 1.5K NL 2-7 Lowball Draw. They were also used in the 2009 $2k Limit Hold ‘Em event that saw opening blinds of 30-60. Besides being used as T5 chips at least 21 times, these are often used as rebuy, add on, or bounty chips in events like the 2012 $10k NLHE Heads-Up Championship, 2011 NLHE Triple Chance, and in 2010 in the 5k PLO, 5k PLO8, and 10k PLO. These chips no longer see any play as starting stacks have quickly increased over the years making T5 chips obsolete.
25, 100, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 Version 1
Years Active – 2007 – 2017

Edgespot Colors – Moss Green and Red
5,000 - Fuchsia
Edgespot Colors – Off White/Radient Red
These are the core chips that were used for smaller tournaments and most draw and stud tournaments between 2007 and 2017. Although not used at most NLHE and Special events, they are usually used in the non-NLHE 10k Championship events. The Lime Green 25 chips were not always used in 5k and 10k events making them the least used of the five chips in this set. The Fuchsia 5,000 chips were occasionally replaced by the Quarter pies 5,000 chips in some special events where the secondary set was used. The Blurple 500 and Arc Yellow 1,000 were used in the 2016 and 2017 111,111 One Drop while the other three chips were not. The Arc Yellow was the most used of these five chips being used in the 2014 The Big One For One Drop.
These chips were replaced in 2018 by the Version 2 secondary chips and have not been used since. It is unclear if the WSOP ever plans to use these chips again.

500 - 62 tournaments
1,000 - 61 tournaments

The 25s were not always used in 2019 due to the big blind ante structure. The Salmon 5,000 chips were sometimes replaced by the Quarter Pies 5,000 chips in the 2018 10k Horse, 50k Poker Players Championship, and the 2019 NLHE 50k High Roller Final Fifty. The Russet 100s weren't used in the 2019 50k Final Fifty NLHE High Roller. The Orchid 500s were the only chip in the set used in the 2019 100k NLHE High Roller.

They were also used at the 111,111 One Drop events in 2013, 2015, and 2017 and the Big One For One Drop in 2014 and 2018. Outside of these special events they have been used at the 10k HORSE Championships in 2015 and 2018, 3k HORSE events in 2016 and 2017, 3k PLO8 in 2016, and the 25k PLO 8-Handed event in 2016.

First known use – 2012 Event 45 $50,000 Poker Players Championship
Edgespots – 8A18 style 19
Edgespot Colors – Blue Grain and Black
These chips were introduced in 2012 to be used at the Poker Players Championship. Since their introduction, they have been the most randomly used high denom chip at the WSOP seeing 25 various events. They were used at the Poker Players Championship in 2012 and 2013 before being replaced by the 43mm Canary Yellow in 2014 and 2016 (No 100k chips were used in 2015) but were again used in 2017 and 2018. They have been used at every 111,111 One Drop in 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017 and for one of the three Big One For One Drops in 2018.
These chips also saw some use at 10k events like the 2013 PLO, 2016 PLO 8-Handed, 2016 HORSE, and 2013, 2015, and 2016 NLHE Heads-Up Championships as well as the 25k NLHE 6-Handed event in 2013. They have been used alongside the primary set in 2014 in the 1k NLHE Seniors event, the 2016 3k NLHE, and the second Millionaire Maker tournament in 2014. Lastly, these chips have occasionally showed up in four normal events; The strange 2016 1.5k Mixed Omaha PLO8/Omaha 8OB/Big O event, the 2016 1.5k NLHE/PLO 8-Handed event, the 2016 4k PLO 6-Handed event, and the 3k HORSE event held in 2017.
In 2019 they were used only twice in the 50k NLHE Final Fifty and 100k High Rollers.
100,000 Apricot Version 2
Years Active – 2018 - 2019
First known use – 2018 Event 2 $10,000 No Limit Hold ‘Em Super Turbo Bounty
Edgespots - 3TSA18214
Edgespot Colors – Dark Red and Aqua
These chips were introduced alongside the rest of the version 2 secondary set in 2018. Although the rest of those chips actively replaced a version 1 chip, these did not. The White 100k chips were still used twice in 2018 in special events. The Apricot chips see the majority of play when a high denom chip is needed however, showing up 16 times at tables in their inaugural year and 11 more times in 2019.
They were used at many of the 10k Championship events in 2018 being featured at the HORSE, PLO8, Seven Card 8OB, NLHE 6-Handed, and the NLHE Heads-Up Championship. They were also used at some of the high roller events such as the 10k NLHE Super Turbo Bounty, 50k NLHE High Roller, and 100k NLHE High Roller Events.
These Version 2 chips are the first to use the custom WSOP house mold.
100,000 43mm Oversized Canary Yellow
Years Active - 2014 - 2017
First known use – 2014 Event 46 $50,000 Poker Players Championship
Edgespots – 4A18 style 7
Edgespot Colors – Radiant Red and Indian Blue
These chips are a bit of an odd one. They were seemingly introduced to be used at special events only premiering at the Poker Players Championship and also used at the Big One For One Drop in 2014. Then, in 2015 they were only used twice: the 10k PLO and 25k PLO 8-Handed. These aren’t normal tournaments but are far from the special high visibility bracelet events the WSOP has become known for. In 2016 they once again were used at the Poker Players Championship for a final time and the 25k PLO 8-Handed events. Although only used twice in each of the first three years of existence, they showed up four times in 2017; The 1.5k NLHE/PLO 8-Handed Mixed Event, the 10k PLO8, the 10k NLHE 6-Handed, and again in the 25k PLO 8-handed.
Then the 2018 WSOP came and went and these chips were absolutely nowhere to be found. No new 100k chips were introduced in the secondary set but instead they were replaced in tournaments you would expect to see these used in with the 100k White and Apricot chips above. It is unclear why these chips did not grace the tables in 2018 or whether we can expect a return in 2019.
250,000 43mm Oversized Lavender
Years Active - 2014 - 2016
First known use – 2014 Event 57 The Big One For One Drop
Edgespots – 4A18 style 7
Edgespot Colors – Pink and Lemon Green
These chips were introduced in 2014 to be used at The Big One For One Drop. The starting stacks of this event was so large it actually featured 250k chips! The second and final appearance of these chips was the 2016 111,111 One Drop event. It is unclear if these chips will ever see play again but appear to have been dropped in favor of just using the 500k chips below.
-Primary and Secondary Usage-
It is a misnomer that these secondary chips are for non-NLHE events only. The WSOP determines which set to use based on field sizes and what other tournaments around the same time are using. Because the NLHE events are typically the largest fields the Primary set is used in most of them. A few examples are:
2018 1.5k HORSE event 15 used the Primary set
2018 10K NLHE Super Turbo Bounty event 59 used the Secondary set
2017 1k PLO event 25 used the Primary Set
2017 5k NLHE 6-handed event 36 used the Secondary set
The chips used at the WSOP are also not exclusively split up between the Primary and Secondary sets. On occasion they will use a mix of the two without any real explanation.
In the 2018 One For One Drop the Primary 1K Canary Yellow was used with the Secondary set
In the 2016 3k NLHE the Secondary 100k White chips were used with the Primary set
In the 2014 1k PLO the Secondary 25K Indian Blue were used with the Primary set
In the 2014 the 1.5k NLHE Millionaire Maker and 1K NLHE Seniors the Secondary 100k White chips were used with the Primary Set
In the 2011 the 25k NLHE Heads-Up Championship used both the Primary and Secondary sets
In the 2009 and 2011 5k NLHE Triple Chance event the Secondary 5 Royal Red chips were used as rebuy chips
In the 2008 and 2009 the 10k NLHE Heads-Up Championship used both the Primary and Secondary sets
In the 2009 2k Limit HE and the 1.5k PLO8 the Secondary 5 Royal Red were used for antes

No new 100k chips were introduced in the secondary set but instead they were replaced in tournaments you would expect to see these used in with the 100k White and Apricot chips above. It is unclear why these chips did not grace the tables in 2018 or whether we can expect a return in 2019.
250,000 43mm Oversized Lavender
Years Active - 2014 - 2016
First known use – 2014 Event 57 The Big One For One Drop
Edgespots – 4A18 style 7
Edgespot Colors – Pink and Lemon Green
These chips were introduced in 2014 to be used at The Big One For One Drop. The starting stacks of this event was so large it actually featured 250k chips! The second and final appearance of these chips was the 2016 111,111 One Drop event. It is unclear if these chips will ever see play again but appear to have been dropped in favor of just using the 500k chips below.
-Primary and Secondary Usage-
It is a misnomer that these secondary chips are for non-NLHE events only. The WSOP determines which set to use based on field sizes and what other tournaments around the same time are using. Because the NLHE events are typically the largest fields the Primary set is used in most of them. A few examples are:
2018 1.5k HORSE event 15 used the Primary set
2018 10K NLHE Super Turbo Bounty event 59 used the Secondary set
2017 1k PLO event 25 used the Primary Set
2017 5k NLHE 6-handed event 36 used the Secondary set
The chips used at the WSOP are also not exclusively split up between the Primary and Secondary sets. On occasion they will use a mix of the two without any real explanation.
In the 2018 One For One Drop the Primary 1K Canary Yellow was used with the Secondary set
In the 2016 3k NLHE the Secondary 100k White chips were used with the Primary set
In the 2014 1k PLO the Secondary 25K Indian Blue were used with the Primary set
In the 2014 the 1.5k NLHE Millionaire Maker and 1K NLHE Seniors the Secondary 100k White chips were used with the Primary Set
In the 2011 the 25k NLHE Heads-Up Championship used both the Primary and Secondary sets
In the 2009 and 2011 5k NLHE Triple Chance event the Secondary 5 Royal Red chips were used as rebuy chips
In the 2008 and 2009 the 10k NLHE Heads-Up Championship used both the Primary and Secondary sets
In the 2009 2k Limit HE and the 1.5k PLO8 the Secondary 5 Royal Red were used for antes
