Basically they squeezed the prizes closes together by 150k. So they each are now guaranteed 850k, and are playing for the last 400k.

How long have they been playing now?

And how long had VR been playing when she made her move with 2pr on the river?

Fatigue is a factor for these players.

Oh ya, time played thus far: 21 hours 35 Minutes
(And I think VR went out almost at the 20hr mark)

I certainly did not see that 9 coming.. was pretty brutal. That being said, it looked like it was going to be ending pretty quickly, Ka$ino was pushing preflop raises in for at least 3xBB on every hand regardless of what he had.

They're probably fried, just looking to end it. Deal was struck they're getting big money, they're exhausted...beyond exhausted ...staring at a monitor for a day straight...

Yeah, it's odd terminology that I hadn't heard before. Apparently saving 100k off first is basically the same thing as adding it to 2nd place to bring the two places closer together. As to continuing to play, that's because they didn't make a deal to chop equally but only to give 2nd more of the purse.
