The initial deal in Event #7 was rejected because the chip leader, Michel Patenaude, wasn’t happy with the agreed-upon payout. Once he explained this, and another player made a suggestion of how to sweeten the pot, a deal was very quickly agreed upon that will be based on the same ICM numbers as had been generated before. $30 from each player’s ICM prize will be removed to form the remaining prize pool (for the eventual winner), and $45 will be taken from 6 of the payouts and added to Michel’s.
Almost immediately after the deal was struck, Gary McIntosh was eliminated in 7th place.
