Deal or No Deal

Let's make a deal!

Josh Tieman and Danny Estes have agreed on a $15,000 save. This means the player who advances to the final table will pay the loser fifteen dimes.

You may be thinking to yourself: "Why would they do this?"

Well, if you check the Payouts tab above, you will see that if you make the final table you are guaranteed $71,998, but if you get knocked out today you only earn $16,607.

So $15,000 of insurance for a $55,381 differential is actually quite sensible.
