The 2025 WSOP Milly Maker got weird when heads-up play began, and many people believed it was because one of the players was guaranteed an extra million by WPT Global if he won. Could it all have been avoided if the WSOP allowed public final table deals? Is there a good reason to not allow deals, or should players be allowed to chop the prize pool however they like?
And if players do make a private deal and collude to force a particular outcome, what should happen then?
