After the 5th place player left the table, the players decided to ask the tournament director to pause the clock so that they can find out what the ICM numbers for a chip chop looked like. After entering the numbers into the ICM calculator, the players agreed to make the deal.
As per Playground event policy, 2% of the total prize must be kept aside and players must play down to a winner. The players decided to leave a little more than 2% and they all contributed $60 each so that another $240 could be left over for the eventual 1st place winner, over and above the amounts listed in the table below.
Here are the numbers for the ICM chop:
| Player | Chip stack | ICM Payout | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jean-Francois Santerre | 251K | $1,136 | ||
| Benjamin Mathieu-Comtois | 507K | $1,330 | ||
| Alexandre Cousineau | 178K | $1,050 | ||
| Andre Dupuis | 673K | $1,390 |
