When the TonyBet Power Weekend Tag Team tournament reached level 27, a few of the team members asked the table once again if there was any interest in looking at potential numbers for a deal. With the blinds entering 50K/100K and an ante of 5K, the average stack would be reduced to just 12 big blinds, leaving less room for manoeuvrability – and a huge gap between 1st place prize money and 8th place.
After much negotiating, something to be expected when two players are involved per member of the final table, the 8 teams finally agreed to the ICM chop numbers, which split the remaining prize pool based on their current chip counts. Team Fee was awarded the biggest piece of the chop, as they were the chip leaders at the time of the chop, and all team members were left well rewarded for their long day on the felts.
Congratulations!
