halvornaldo and katma77 close July 13th Party Poker $300K with Deal

A deal between players halvornaldo and katma77 brought the July 13th Party Poker $300K Guaranteed Weekly NL Hold’em tournament to a close at 6:15 pm EST. Here are the top ten finishers and their respective prize moneys in USD:

1. halvornaldo $50,147.99 (deal)

While a deal was eventually made, it appeared as though this would be the second consecutive Party Poker $300K to end with an outright winner after a deal fell through between the final 3 players when CanIwinWSOP inexplicably jettisoned deal making mode. This was an unexpected move from the player who was at the time a distant third in chips to the eventual top two finishers, yet under the guidelines of the deal stood to make about $26,000 USD instead of the outright third place money of $20,700. Another interesting note was the 7th place finish of aussie181, who entered final table with a massive 1.75 million chip stack and the chip lead.
