A Save?

The remaining 12 players have agreed to do a save for the ninth- and tenth-place finishers. A total of €100,000 will be taken off the top prize pool, with €50,000 apiece going to unlucky #9 and #10. The tournament staff was reluctant to accommodate the players since their payouts are by the book, but it is the players' prize pool, and they can do with it what they wish.

A save it is. And it's quite possible the agreement was reached simply because the rest of the field just wanted Matt Marafioti to stop complaining.
