New Zealand's mathclub (pictured) made $38,900 after negotiating a heads-up chop in the UltimateBet $200k Guaranteed. Shaun is the author of a recent article titled Tips for Better Multi-Tabling that he wrote in November. TW1977 received $32,400 from the chop deal with mathclub. PocketFivers mman_status and eisenhower1 rounded out the final table in 8th and 9th for $4,900 and $3,400 respectively.
