The 8 remaining players paused the clock to discuss a potential deal, and have agreed to make a slight alteration to the prizes. Their goal was to guarantee everyone at least $5,000 for their efforts, and so they pulled $1,500 from 1st, $1,000 from 2nd and $500 form 3rd, adding these amounts to 7th and 8th place so they total $5,000.
Here are the new payouts:
| Place | Old Prize | New Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | $25,600 | $24,100 |
| 2nd | $18,223 | $17,223 |
| 3rd | $12,600 | $12,100 |
| 4th | $10,000 | $10,000 |
| 5th | $7,550 | $7,550 |
| 6th | $5,650 | $5,650 |
| 7th | $4,000 | $5,000 |
| 8th | $3,000 | $5,000 |
