This meant that the speed of play was severely reduced as players were counting out tons of 25/50 chips for big bets in multiway pots. Table space was also a problem.
Surely this has to be looked at.
Stack management is all part of poker and players will learn very quickly to manage there stacks...i agree with Nick that on some of the really large stacks getting them to make 500 stacks so that you can quickly chip them up will be come part of the process and should not really interfere with the game.
if you feel the need to stop the game at around the 2 hour mark to get rid of the Reds & Whites i will leave that up to the organizers of the game to decide.

Of course there is one other option that i have been thinking about running in the Bath Area and thats a earlier start time. 7PM or even 7:15?
