- 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.

Wow, really? They used to let us discuss a chop at the table, then when the players chopping would finish, we'd each get our prize from the cage and bring it back to the table. They had no problem with us spreading cash around the table and making piles to split between us. I think the dealers liked it too because they would end up with whatever part of the cash made the math hard [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I haven't been in several months though, so thanks for the tip about "no chopping," at least officially.
