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

When the blinds gets too high your abilities dont make difference and you cant remove the lucky factor, thats where the deal is effective... and the deal must be accepted for all players envolved, if one dont agree the game goes until someone request another deal try or another player fall From tourney.

the eventual winner declined the deal while the other 4 approved, so they played on. The guy that said no to deal ended up running through the remaining players like a man amongst boys.

Yeah, 4 handed and only one player, Xavi666, did not want to make a deal.
In like 10/20 hands he knocked all other 3 players out and finished in 1st place for $1.000.000+

Thank you everyone who answered the question. I did say thanks yesterday but hit my post limit. I understand so much better now. Makes perfect sense if you worried you may not get a decent position.
