| Player | Chips | Chip % | Chip Chop | ICM Chop | Diff |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player 1 | 5,000 | 50.0% | 40.00 | 38.39 | +1.61 |
| Player 2 | 3,000 | 30.0% | 32.00 | 32.75 | -0.75 |
| Player 3 | 2,000 | 20.0% | 28.00 | 28.86 | -0.86 |
Every player locks up 20 (the lowest remaining payout) before the rest is split by chips.
A chip chop overpays big stacks because chips lose value as you accumulate them. ICM prices each stack by its true share of the remaining payouts — most card rooms and study tools consider it the fair baseline for a deal.
