While the exact numbers of every deal reached in the biggest Party Poker weekly over the past 4 months have been nothing more than ratifications of the chip count percentages that Party Poker itself puts forth, Mamanya and fud9990 actually negotiated the final numbers of their own deal. After a 23 hand Heads up session with a more than 12 million chip swing left Mamanya and fud9990 in virtually the same chip positions they had been in coming into Heads up play, dealmaking mode was initiated and the players agreed upon a $52,000 - $41,000 split of the remaining $93,000 in prize money.
