Vu Wins; Five-Handed ICM Deal

After the elimination of Dara Taherpour in sixth place, players revisited talks of an ICM deal.

Players were conveniently approaching a break and their chip counts were updated, which made reviewing a detailed ICM deal possible.

David Vu had recently regained the chip lead and crippled Ike Nlemchi after stacking off with A♥K♥ against Nlemchi's pocket kings. Vu turned the nut flush, which put him back in the table captain position before players revisited the ICM talks.

Chip Counts

Player Stack BB
David Vu 18,050,000 60
Erin Parisien 7,375,000 25
Lorraine Widener 6,425,000 21
Tim Bandini 3,250,000 11
Ike Nlemchi 1,150,000 4

 

After reviewing the numbers, every player was happy except for Tim Bandini. Bandini wanted more than his assigned value but eventually gave in to the deal. Adjusted payouts are below.
