The Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma is playing host to a 22-tournament series, with prelim events starting at noon and 4:00 PM. The buy-ins for the series range from $200 all the way up to $1,080. The no-limit hold’em main event will feature just that buy-in, as well as in-depth coverage and a live stream of the final table right here on Card Player.

In addition to the official prelim events, Choctaw will also play host to nightly $125 tournaments at 7:00 PM for the duration of the series.
