How to handle people who want to chop and constantly nag live event?

[Vetstadium]

This was absurd I decided to play at The Tropicana tourn last night buy in was 80 + $20 only 100 entrants top ten get paid. When there was 27 left my whole table wanted to chop prize pool right there and was nagging everyone to chop. They were relentless I objected as well as 2 other total players. How can they seriously want to chop at that point? 24 left they ask again. I was getting sick of the constant asking and mocking of players who didn't want to.
Am I just being stubborn or do most of you agree I won't even talk chop at an event like this unless we are AT LEAST at final table.
