There were 5 players left in Event 4 when they decided to ask tournament staff about a possible deal. They were informed that $323 and the Champion’s Trophy had to be reserved for the eventual winner and beyond that they could set the terms of the deal or ask for chip chop numbers.
The players quickly decided to offer the 5th place player, David Nadler, $400 over the lowest remaining prize and then evenly chop the remaining prize pool. In other words, the players reserved $323 and the trophy for the winner, the top 4 players by chip count each took $2,485.00, and the smallest stacked player took $1,620.
Everyone quickly agreed to the deal and play continued.
When it did, David Nadler was eliminated almost immediately, and play continues.
