The schedule also includes $130 Mini Main Megas. Those satellites award one $1,100 Mini Main seat for every $1,100 in the prize pool, with remaining cash paid to the next highest finisher.

Because satellite times are spread throughout the series, players should use the official schedule PDF rather than relying on an older Choctaw schedule.

⠀

Tournament Structures and Registration

WSOP has published a detailed fall structure packet covering the Main Event, major ring events, supporting tournaments and satellites.

Players who want a refresher on tournament blind structures can review Angry Aces Poker's guide to blinds, antes and the dealer button.

⠀

WSOP LIVE and Registration

The current WSOP event page directs players to the WSOP LIVE app for tournament details and displays online-ticket availability for Choctaw Durant.

WSOP's current registration rules state that participants need an active WSOP LIVE account to register for WSOP events. Players can review the official WSOP LIVE information before the series.

The national WSOP registration page contains procedures specific to the Las Vegas summer series, so those cashier locations and payment instructions should not automatically be applied to Choctaw Durant. Players should follow the Choctaw-specific instructions in WSOP LIVE and at the host property when they arrive.

⠀

WSOP Circuit Rings and 2026 Championship Package

Each official ring event awards a WSOP Circuit gold ring.

WSOP's current 2026 program also awards Circuit ring winners a $5,000 WSOP Paradise package. WSOP states that the package includes a seat in the $2,750 WSOP Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty and complimentary accommodations in the Bahamas.

The fall Choctaw structure sheets also identify the package as non-refundable and non-transferable.

⠀

Choctaw Poker and Tournament Venue

Choctaw Casino & Resort-Durant is located at 4216 S. Hwy 69/75 in Durant, Oklahoma.

The property operates a permanent poker room in the Sky Casino. Players looking for cash-game and property information can use Angry Aces Poker's Choctaw Casino Durant Poker Room Guide.

Choctaw identifies the South Parking Garage as the most convenient garage for visitors going to the Sky Casino and poker room. The resort itself is open 24 hours.

The published WSOP schedule and structure documents establish the tournament dates and formats, but they do not identify a specific fall tournament ballroom, convention room or tournament registration desk. Players should check WSOP LIVE and on-property signage after arrival for those operational details.

⠀

Planning a Regional WSOP Circuit Schedule

Players following multiple Circuit stops can also review Angry Aces Poker's 2026 WSOP Circuit Hard Rock Tulsa guide and 2026 WSOP Circuit Texas Card House Austin guide.

The Choctaw fall stop begins October 28 and concludes November 9, so players considering multiple series should compare dates carefully before arranging travel.
