    Hi

    A chip and a chair is a poker expression, basically when someone loses a lot of chips in a hand and is only left with a few, yes, even 1 they are said to have a chip and a chair, in tournament context, you get 1 chip and have to build from there, or go out :)

    a chip and a chair was coined when Jack Strauss was all in at the WSOP, he got knocked out but when he went to get up found a single $500 chip and because he hadnt declared all in he was allowed to continue playing, he went on to win, hence the expression 'all you need is a chip and a chair'
