I was watching the final table of the 10m Sunday million tournament. I see them talking about wanting to deal. What does this mean? Also I have noticed other tournaments where it says 5000 or 10 000 is reserved for the winner. How does it all work and when would you need to use it and how?
When the blinds are too high, players can make a deal of how the remmaining prize pool will be shared, despite the final position. The rule about x dollars should be reserved for champion its because the chip leader wont necessairly wins the torney, but for the deal he could ask for a bigger prize.
For example, there are 3players and remmaining prize pool is 10k, the deal must leave 1k to Winner.
Original prize pool was 5k 1st, 3k 2nd 2k 3rd
Player 1 has 130k chips
Player 2 has 140k
Player 3 has 70k
The proposed deal chances the prize based on chip count, plus 1k to Winner
The deal makes:
player 1: 3.9k gtd
Player 2: 4.2k gtd
Player 3: 2.1k gtd
And who wins the tourneys also receive 1k bônus. Thats it
