CHIPS TAKEN IN GUKPT MAIN EVENT

[madasawasp]

After my first meeting with Paul Ross and a chat to other forum members at the tourney in Newcastle Saturday (which was a great day) i have been persuaded to tell my horror story from the GUKPT Blackpool main event. I had got through too day two and we have reached the main buffet break four hours in. I had built up from 22,300 to a just under average stack of 63,700. The last hand before the break i get moved to the feature table, one of the dealers carries my chips for me in a tray which included 2 yellow 5k chips the only two i had had all tourney. I watch the chips get placed on the table then i go for the buffet. On my return i get to the table and my two yellow chips are gone, i ask the dealer where they are and he just shrugged his shoulders i asked again and same response i ask for the floor manager who comes over and i tell him there should be 63,700 chips and that i only have 53,700, he says not to panick and walks off, after a chat with other managers and dealers his exact words to me are "Well we dont know whats happened and that its unfortunate but there is nothing they can do" so i stand there and say so i have paid £1000 of my own money played for 17 hours and your answer is basically tough, he replied by saying sorry mate looked up and shouted start the clock. I could not believe it totally shocked gutted upset you name it every emotion possible, i goes without saying lost the plot and all my chips in 10 mins of restart. I am not saying i would have won it im not saying i would have cashed but it is shocking how i was treated. For those of you who know me (Richard Whitmore) know that i have played these events from the first year they started and that i have never been invovled in anything like this ever.I have posted on 1 other forum and the response i got was amazing so what do my fellow punters lounge players think. Ps thanks to Paul and Graham for the weekend great game lads.

I'd be creating a scene until I got the chips back....the louder the better normally gets the correct response in a situation similar to this.:ok TQM
