...well, some of them were. The Nevada Gaming Commission released a report and this is what the found. This is all from the story on PokerNews, you can see the entire story here: Extra 2 millions chips. Looks like Kevin O'Donnell, the bar owner from AZ, received 1 million extra chips after a color up. Ok, I go on break and come back, I have an extra million chips. Do I notice that??? Not calling he guy a lier, but if I had an extra million in chips, hell ya I'm going to notice. Am I going to say anything, No.
From the card player report it looks like he has 3.45 last report before the break... The first hand he played, reported by CardPlayer after the break he gets in a big hand. He calls a raise preflop (250k) and then a check raises after the flop (1Million), and then goes all in for 2.95 million. Rough math, that's 750 extra, if you take the 30k/60k 10k antes into count, you can easly see an extra million chips in there...
Now if he had 10/12million before the break and I can see him not noticing, but 3.45 million and poof you have now 4.5... Hmmmm... I guess if he went deeper, we would really hear more about this. But what about Allen C, the one ended up with the extra million chips????
Time line, Looked back to see his counts and this is what I found on CardPlayer:
Tue Aug 08 12:39:00 PDT 2006 O'Donnell Takes Another Pot After this hand, O'Donnell now has $2,920,000.
Tue Aug 08 12:54:00 PDT 2006 O'Donnell on a Roll chip count to $3,450,000.
Tue Aug 08 13:36:00 PDT 2006 Players On Break $5,000 chips being raced off.
Next hand that is reported by card player on O'Donnell, 45 min after the color up:
Tue Aug 08 14:23:00 PDT 2006 Magill Lays It Down John Magill raises to $250,000 and Kevin O'Donnell calls in the small blind. O'Donnell checks the A109 flop and Magill bets $500,000. O'Donnell rases to $1,000,000 and Magill calls. O'Donnell moves all-in on the 5 turn for $2,950,000. Magill thinks for nearly five minutes before showing AQ and folding. O'Donnell now has $5,750,000 and Magill drops to $2,950,000.
When you do the math, there are the extra chips.
From the story on PokerNews:
Kevin O'Donnell was one of the players to receive extra chips. He was incorrectly colored-up and received 1 million extra chips. Our chip stack analysis shows good data for Kevin shortly before the color-up break and shortly after; there is a 1.05 million chip increase that is not accounted for. We spoke to Kevin, he and all the other players were away from the table during the color-up. He had no idea that he could have been one of the stacks incorrectly colored-up and was shocked that he might have been. Kevin busted out of the tournament in 21st place to Allen Cunningham less that 30 minutes after the mistake was made. We have several independent sources that agree Kevin O'Donnell was one of two players given extra chips. Every piece of evidence points to Kevin having absolutely no knowledge of the events and no idea this had even occurred.
