Deal Making

"Can't face a head to head showdown where thousands of dollars rest on the turn of a card? Use our new deal making feature to chop the pot and share the prize pool at the poker final table!"

What is it final table deal making?

Absolute Poker's deal making lets poker final table tournament players split the pot and share the winnings. Everyone must agree to make a deal, and our new feature allows players to divide the money in a variety of ways.

Why Participate If You're At The Poker Final Table?

By the time a tournament gets to the final table, the game can often turn into a coin toss with players going all-in with only a 50/50 chance of winning the pot.

The prize difference between the top places in a poker final table can be very significant - especially on our monster guaranteed cash tournaments.

Deal making enables all the players to split the pot so everyone gets a healthy chunk of change.

How Does Poker Final Table Deal Making Work?

When the game gets to the final table, a DEAL MAKING button will appear prompting you to click either YES or NO.

ONLY when EVERYONE has clicked YES will the deal making begin.

The game will pause and an administrator will join the chat to monitor the players as they discuss a deal.

If an agreement is reached, the pot will be divided accordingly.

If the players FAIL to make an agreement, the game will continue with the winners getting the prize amounts their place in the tournament rewards.

That's the deal (making)
