T1000 Tournament

This is a common 1,000-chip poker tournament distribution of 400/300/200/100 for 1,000 chips and 20 players. There are $20,000 poker chips "in play" with another $59,500 chips "remaining" in your set. The remaining chips will allow you to issue numerous rebuys and add-ons, or play with more players than 20. You can easily hold a T1500 or T2000 tournament by adding one or two $500 chips to each player's starting stack. Even if you do issue an extra 2-$500 chips per player, you will still have plenty of remaining chips for rebuys and add-ons, or for doing a chip color-up.
