WI was considering dropping table games altogether, but didn't. I play there once/twice per week and have heard nothing specific about closing poker.
The place has been rocking the last few Fridays because of a weird promotion from 6 to 12pm where each hour they post a specific hand (full house or quads) and if you make that specific hand during the hour using two cards you win a jackpot that increases $200 each hour. It is about eight grand right now. They filled all but one table last Friday...
