They should not chop the $5 into whites. It generally doesn't matter if they do, it won't really affect the game, and anyone who is concerned about one chip being in play in that game is probably at the wrong table.

It doesn't matter to me which way they do it. I just like to see the rules being followed. I actually think it is more fair to chop it down to white chips. Why should I get an extra $5 (if chopping heads up) just because my ace is a certain suit? (Another rule I call people out on that I don't really like is taking money off the table. I feel you should be able to do whatever you want with your money, (I know why the rule exists...) but if I see it, I sometimes will alert the player). Since one post said the dealers don't follow a standard rule regarding chopping pots, I won't bring it up again to a dealer if I see it.
