- Talking about a chop at the final table is not allowed.

Officially it's not allowed, but the last two times I was there and finished ITM we chopped, and the deal was made at the table. The dealer said nothing, but the floor said we had to go outside the poker room to discuss a chop and to divide the money up.

The story I heard on this (from another player) was that they used to allow chopping, but on one occasion, the guy who took first place--after agreeeing to a chop-- absconded with the money, and the casino had to pony up the first place money again to satisfy the other players. Since then, no "official" chopping allowed. I have no idea whether or not it's true.

I can confirm this. I chopped the Sat. tournament a week after this happened. I got word directly from the floor. If you're gonna chop, you have to do it discretely.
