MommasBigGun and olkku agreed to a deal at 8:40 PM EST Sunday night to bring the June 8 Party Poker 300K guaranteed to a close. The deal was virtually a 50-50 split of the remaining $93,000 in prize money with MommasBigGun taking $47,402.20 and olkku taking $45,597.81.

The deal was made after olkku suggested to MommasBigGun that they play heads up for $27,000 (the difference between 1st and 2nd prize money) rather than play for such an amount with blinds at $40,000/$80,000 (which left each player with little more than 30 times the big blind, with steeper blinds to follow every 20 minutes.)
