WSOP Circuit Choctaw-Durant January 5th- 22nd 2017 - Page 3 - WSOP and Tournament Circut

Jimmy,

That structure you used for the $125 100K at Choctaw PNIA series was the best I've encountered yet at this pricepoint. Everyone I spoke with agreed. Please try to utilize it more often, we love it!

Keep up the good work!

I know it's too late for schedule changes but curious why 1) there is no high roller event during circuit at Choctaw and 2) why there isn't two circuit stops at Choctaw? The turnout is as good as Cherokee if not better, and they have three! I'm sure the second question is determined by wsop, but need a high roller and a 1k next year!

Not many casinos have both a WSOPC and a WPT event.

Choctaw is one of the best places to play poker, and I play both the circuit and the wpt. Everything about their tournaments are first rate. However, I don't understand what the wpt in July has to do with the circuit. The circuit is august-may. Was the option to have the circuit twice or wpt what the casino would allow? Just curious because the more big series at Choctaw the better!

Yes we could have chosen to do 2 WSOPCE or 2 WPT , but we prefer to keep variety. 4 tournaments a year is the right amount for this location. Stes that have 2 or 3 Wsopce events tend to water down the product in my opinion. Hope to see everyone in January.

My heart breaks that my friend and Poker dealer Will Woodruff passed away today. I was so happy when his brain surgery was over and could see he was doing great. This was so unexpected, after he went home and was on his way to recovery. Will was a great employee, but more important is that he was not selfish. He would go out of his way to make someone laugh. He had a huge heart. He will be missed by many including myself. I can see him in Heaven now telling some of his old jokes and making new friends. Good Night Will, the curtain has closed, your fans and friends will miss you. Rest in Peace Big Man.

The circuit dealer staff has lost a few too many. It hasn't been too long since we lost Buell. RIP Will.

So this may seem silly to some, however I have a request. Can we bring back the final table on the stage like the good ole days in the old tournament area? I feel for pretty minimal effort it adds an exciting element that most players are there for, especially the recreational ones. Could have one table, roped off with chairs for spectators and just us it as strictly the FT. I was fortunate enough to FT the reentry in 2012 when Gardy won for the second time and being up there under the lights is one of my coolest poker memories. PLEASE.

WSOP17 but they are having problems with it working on internet so it is best to call 888-652-4628 and book your room.

What are the weekday/weekend prices with the codes? Without them, even a double queen at the INN is $249 wtf

Don't know about the Inn but the tower is $129/159 double queen with discount. And the Inn and the Lodge is cheaper than the tower.

Just booked all 3 weekends for $159 per night. Seems a little higher than last year or previous tournaments. I think I was paying $119-$129.
Has me second guessing my choice now...it's kinda pricey. Might book something in Durant.
