We spoke too soon about there not being a chop. After nearly an hour of battling, Chris Smith and Teddy Fatovick reached a heads-up deal in the $500 Seniors.
Smith told PokerNews he wanted his first poker trophy, so he proposed a deal as soon as her took the chip lead. Fatovick, who earlier didn't want to take the deal, accepted.
Smith took home his first trophy and $18,532, while Fatovick walked away with $15,079. The final table also included Kelly Smith (3rd - $8,082), Bennedetto Ruffalo (4th -$4,916) and Travis Fouble (5th - $3,797).
