Card Player Poker Tour Choctaw 2013 (July 18 - August 5) - Page 14 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

How are the evening events? I see they're typically only a 5k or 10k guaranteed but what are the turnouts usually like? How many people, how long do they last, etc.? Thanks in advance!

Average 100+ players and normally lasting 5-6 hours.

They were very nice once I got them to look into available rooms and not just blow me off with a "no we are full" story.

I will also say I walked across the parking lot to the lodge to present my sob story - I imagine being there in person helps. I was offered a tower room at a significant discount around 2 or 3am.

I am the official short stack from yesterday's noon event. Coming back today at 2 to finish them off. Kind of a bummer that 1 way was opposed to coming back at noon, so may just have to multi table today

Have to say this about Choctaw's first responders I had a minor heart malfunction at the table and they were quick to give assistance.

They kept insisting that I go to the hospital but I kept saying no as long as I have a chip, a chair and a heart beat I'm not going anywhere. Lol

I'm staying with some friends near Choctaw but they are leavin and I would like to stay, and go to winstar for their series coming up, heard cash is gonna be good. If anyone legit wants to split a room/cut expenses get at me immediately! I might leave back for home if I don't find a somewhat reasonably cheap alternative. My names Brandon. # 3842396 hit me up

I have another $50 voucher for the Super sat this Thursday, 8/1 that I will sell for a discount. I will probably not be able to make it up to Choctaw before then, but I would be able to meet someone in the DFW area or I could give it to someone going to Choctaw to give to someone already up there.

Feeling fine today Jenn thanks for asking but have decided to take the day off from the seniors tourney and rest. But will hit the sattys Mon, Tues, Wed and Thur. and then hopefully the main. Wish you could have made it down as Choctaw has put on a great event and the numbers have surprised me.

I really wish that I could have made it out, but it was not meant to be this time. I wish you the best in the sattys - and ultimately in the main.

Thanks. Good to see you as well. That hand between you and Val still makes me laugh. You guys verbal bet all his chips into the pot before the old guy could even get his initial 20 across the line.
