Jack Salter has made a deal that he sold 75% of the difference between second and first. This means Salter won't make a deal with Buonanno, but does have less risk than the actual difference between first and second.
Play has stopped while the organization sets up the table for heads up play. Negotiations about a deal have recommenced. The attention focuses on Salter discussing his own deal with, what we assume is his backer, Ami Barer. Salter wants a smaller piece of himself of the big swings that can happen now heads up and is trying to sell a bit more of his action.

Buonanno instantly wanted to make a deal, while Moennig was still standing there.
“I’m not giving extra, no way.” This was Jack Salter.

From body language alone you sensed that Salter knew he had everyone where he wanted them – worried about his chips, worried about his advantage, worried about their own fate.
