For whatever it's worth I have been told numerous times that the reason Choctaw won't facilitate chops is because the gaming commission prohibits it. They've never done it, even for the daily tournaments when a series is not in town. One would think with facilitating chops, it would be the same gaming commission, but it isn't. The Chickasaw and Choctaw Gaming Commissions have different rules. This also explains why there are only "flop" games allowed at WS, when there can be stud and draw games played at Choctaw. I'm certainly not the expert on this, but it is what I've been told.

I think yesterday drew close to 700 entries, but that will go up substantially today and will be HUGE Saturday.
I think it'll draw $1.3M
