A Deal Has Been Made
Level 30
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
After the elimination of Andy Andrejevic in fourth place, the remaining three players began to discuss a deal. With the big jump from second place to first place due to the $1 million first-place guarantee, the three opted to give Maxx Coleman $775,000 before Joseph Skinner and Jake Haller would chop up the remaining prize money to earn a better-than-second-place $344,934 each.
At the time of the deal, Coleman had the overwhelming lead with 20.14 million in chips. Haller was in second with 4.675 million, but he was virtually tied with Skinner, who had 4.485 million.
The trio then opted to accelerate the blinds to 250,000/500,000 with a 50,000 to play it out for the bracelet and the title.
