At the 2012 World Series of Poker, a shiny new product received its public unveiling. Players and fans the world over were introduced to a program with revolutionary potential. It could track the chip ebbs and flows of every player in a tournament while also serving as the back end operating system to run said tournament. It promised the ability to change the way poker tournaments were followed, with players and fans interacting at the stroke of a few keys.
That product was ChipTic. And it proved to be a colossal failure.
This is the oral history of ChipTic, from those who experienced it first-hand and witnessed that failure — three former employees, two members of WSOP staff and two poker media members who watched it implode.
With 128 players remaining, just two more need to leave empty-handed before the money is made. The bubble is here and hand-for-hand play has begun.
Hand-for-hand play didn't last long as two players fell in quick succession to burst the bubble. The first was "redpill" in 128th place followed by Shawn "shades927" Stroke on the stone bubble in 127th place. With that, the remaining 126 players are guaranteed a minimum payday of $1,622.60.

Sorel "Lovemy3kids" Mizzi raised to 19,500 under the gun and left himself just 5,511 behind. "tszis..." then jammed for 32,249 next to act before Zachary "MagicConch" Gruneberg, who was sitting on a big pile of chips, four-bet jammed himself from the cutoff. Action folded back to Mizzi and he wasted little time in calling off his remaining chips.
Zachary "MagicConch" Gruneberg: 
Sorel "Lovemy3kids" Mizzi: 
"tszis...": 
Gruneberg had the best hand and he paired his ace on the 
flop. The 
turn gave Mizzi a heart flush draw but he missed when the 
bricked on the river.
Mizzi officially finished in 117th place while "tszis..." took 116th, both good for $1,622.60.
