A few hands after Dan Shak's elimination, Jason Mercier asked the table whether or not they would be interested in a chop. At first some of the players were skeptical, but after Scott Seiver plugged the chip counts into an ICM calculator they started to come around.
Everyone but Max Altergott agreed to the deal, giving every player more than third place money, and after a bit of convincing from Mercier, the German finally agreed as well.
| Player | Prize |
|---|---|
| Martin Jacobson | $285,921 |
| Dan Smith | $278,414 |
| Scott Seiver | $265,538 |
| Jason Mercier | $263,342 |
| Max Altergott | $241,785 |
*Crown Casino does not facilitate chops
The players will not leave any of the prize money for first place, and have agreed to raise the blinds every orbit.
