A monster field has gathered at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma for the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw tour stop. For the second straight year, Choctaw has attracted quite the field - and the for the second straight year, Huy Nguyen is in contention.
Nguyen (2011 PTPR Rank: 103rd) won the event last season. He's hoping that his current +100K chip stack will be able to help him make it two for two. Nguyen - better known to many as SavePluto9 - sits Top 25 at the moment - there are 111 players remaining as our runners come back from dinner break as we speak.
UPDATE: Please note that Nguyen was eliminated prior to the dinner break - we apologize for the erroneous information that we had originally reported. There will be a new Champ at Choctaw this season.
Thank you to @lukasmwillems for this information.
Teddy Gill is the chip leader with 590K in chips.
