In tournament play, the act of removing all the small chips from play by dealing random cards to players holding odd chips, and awarding a proportional number of larger chips to the highest-ranking cards.
The lower denomination chips in tournaments are taken out of circulation as the limits go up.
As the limits increase in tournaments, lower denomination chips are taken out of circulation. Rather than rounding odd chips up or down for each player, the players are dealt a card for each odd chip. The player with the highest card is given all the odd chips, which are then colored up.
When the smaller denomination chips are no longer needed in a tournament as the limits increase, they are bought up from the players by the house. Any left over odd chips are then raced off. The most common method to do this is to give one card for each odd chip that each player has. The highest card wins one or more of the the next higher denomination chips. Ties are broken alphabetically by suit (from highest to lowest: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs).
As the limits increase in tournaments, lower denomination chips are taken out of circulation. Rather than rounding odd chips up or down for each player, the players are dealt a card for each odd chip. The players with the highest card are each given one of the next higher denomination chip depending on how many remain after the colored up.
A chip race is an event that takes place in poker tournaments, especially those with an escalating blinds (such as Texas hold 'em), in which chips of denominations that are no longer needed (as the current and upcoming blinds are more easily played with larger chip values) are removed from play. This has the effect of reducing the number of physical chips in front of any player, and makes it easier for the players to count their stacks and their bets.
