Gene, That was exactly what I was asking. Thanks for your answer. In that tournament that I was in, a fellow Florida chipper, who shall remain nameless, put a "few" chips in his pocket as that other guy did. When the final round was over, he lost getting a payoff by a few points. He would have been in second or third palce had he not pocketed the chips. I think he was also trying to "preserve the historical" legacy of chips in Florida.
