Peace Talks Fall Through
The four remaining players are playing for a prize pool worth $1,513,580, and they're still talking deal. The latest plan is similar to the original with a modified chip-chop.
As it stands right now, the players have tentatively agreed to pull $100,000 to create a side pool to play for. With that amount subtracted, each player would take their share of the chip equity as a payout. In addition, Baldwin asked for a bit of extra cash to sweeten the deal for him, and Steely offered to give up $11,000 with Mizrachi and Hall donating $5,500 apiece.
After another 5 or 10 minutes of debate, Baldwin called Matt Savage over and said, "Let's play."
"What's wrong? You don't like the deal?" asked Steely.
Baldwin's response was a simple one: "I've never made a deal in my life."
With nothing settled, the cards are finally in the air once again.
