BLACK HAWK, COLORADO, USA (BrokeFish Poker) — A recent tournament chip discrepancy during the recent Bally’s Poker Open Main Event is being addressed by management of Bally’s Black Hawk. The event, which ran October 10-13, was a $1,200 buy-in no-limit Texas Hold’Em tournament with a 14.2% rake. During the event it was found by tournament directors that more chips were in play than there should’ve been based on the number of entries.
Amid speculation about the issue, Bally’s Black Hawk issued a statement late Friday outlining the issue, confirming that an investigation is underway in cooperation with the Colorado Division of Gaming, and noting that they are implementing changes after a review of tournament procedures:
During the main event of the most recent BPO, Bally's Poker Room Management identified a discrepancy in the tournament chips, where more chips were in play than could be accounted for by the tournament structure, the number of buy-ins, or the standard color-up processes between rounds. Upon discovering the issue, Bally's promptly notified the Colorado Division of Gaming, and we have been actively investigating the matter in cooperation with the Division. Additionally, we have conducted a thorough review of our tournament procedures and are implementing changes to enhance the way our tournaments are conducted.
As the leading poker tournament venue in Colorado, maintaining the highest level of transparency and integrity in our events is our top priority. We deeply value our guests and recognize that unanswered questions can lead to speculation and erode trust. As we continue our investigation, we will keep the poker community informed of any significant findings. In the meantime, we appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this matter.
