Poker Chip Values

Each player begins the tournament with 20 chips of various colors for a total value of 4,000 chips.  The values are as follows

	Color	Value
	White Poker Chips	25 Chips
	Red Poker Chips	50 Chips
	Green Poker Chips	100 Chips
	Blue Poker Chips	500 Chips
	Black Poker Chips	1,000 Chips
	Orange Poker Chips	5,000 Chips

The Poker Host will redeem any player held Bonus Chip cards shortly after the tournament starts. Chips are colored up twice during tournament play. The first color-up occurs after the blinds are raised to 100/200 - that is a small blind of 100 and a big blind of 200. At this first color-up the red and white poker chips are removed and exchanged for green poker chips.

The second color-up removes the green, and sometimes the blue poker chips, replacing them with black and orange chips.
