Definition of a chip and a chair

Literally "a token and a chair". The expression could also be translated as "it's not over until it's over". You've probably seen a similar situation at the poker table. A player loses 99% of his stack. He has 1 chip or the equivalent of one chip left. He ends up winning the next hand which gives him a tiny stack. The next hand, he quadruples his stack by going all in 4 way with AA. He folds a few hands and doubles up again. Thirty minutes later, he is the chip leader and 45 minutes later he has won the tournament. As long as you have a chip, anything is possible.
