When play dropped to the 6 final players, they paused the clock to negotiate a deal. The tournament rules require 2% of the total prize pool to be reserved for the eventual champion in the event a chop takes place, so $650 was left up top for the winner, who will also take home a Playground Poker Fall Classic Champion’s Trophy.
Based on the chip counts, and with further negotiations, the players finally settled on some numbers they can all agree on. Here is what they all locked in:
- Yan Nadeau: $7,000
- Hugo Theotol: $5,000
- Steven Saab: $3,600
- Eleuterio Guedes: $3,310
- Francesco Presta: $3,210
- Ronald Lebel: $2,720
And play continues!
