Choctaw Durant, located near the Texas/Oklahoma border about an hour north of Dallas, has grown into one of the most popular and frequent stops on the World Series of Poker Circuit. It regular draws some of the largest fields and pays out some of the biggest Main Event prizes on the Circuit.
However, it hasn't been a staple from the beginning. In fact the WSOPC took several seasons before first visiting Choctaw for the first time in January 2011.
With live poker still on hiatus and the immediate future of the Circuit in question, PokerNews will continue tracing the Circuit's history event by event, featuring a look at Choctaw Durant this week.
