If he doubles up off the 25k plus whatever else he has then the guy buys more time to get deeper in the tournament and potentilly deeper in the money if they are at that stage.

The other option is if he busts prior to this point of the tournament and knows a friend who is still left that don't mind cheating he could sell the chip to him for a percentage of his cash or whatever terms they come to.

I just have a hard time believing a guy with three circuit rings and tournament experience would do something so stupid for a souvenir. He never got caught taking a chip before for other wins whether he tried to or not but why take one now?
What I mean by 100k is stealing 4 25k chips. If he's going to steal in order to gain some advantage in the next event why would he steal one single 25k chip. That doesn't scream cheat to me....obviously you think it does so whatever
Cause if he gets caught taking more than one then what is his excuse for taking multiples?

My personally opinion is he was going to prob use it. U toss a 25k chip on your stack and it is a free 25k and if u hit an all in you just got 50k! so it is potentially worth 50k
