Default OT: Deal in WCOOP #2 HU

The two remaining players in the WCOOP #2 stopped play HU to arrange a deal. The two players are rambo and lunoid.

1st is $365,218.75 and 2nd is $205,646.25. However, when a deal is made there needs to be at least $30,000 left to play for. The total in play is $540865.

Lee Jones throws out these numbers:

Lee Jones [PokerRoom Manager]: Lunoid: $226,116
Lee Jones [PokerRoom Manager]: Rambo: $314,749
Lee Jones [PokerRoom Manager]: $30K in the middle

I could really use some help figuring this out. I decided to post this here since we all already know the ICM so the steps are easy to follow.

The chip counts are

rambo: t9,462,239
lunoid: t1,775,261

To calculate, I went here and plugged numbers in.

$365,218.75 / ($365,218.75 + $205,646.25) = 0.63976
Plug 0.63976 into Payout - 1st

$205,646.25 / ($365,218.75 + $205,646.25) = 0.36024
Plug 0.36024 into Payout - 2nd

Change 3rd to payout 0

Stack Sizes: 9462239 and 1775261

Yield $EV Values: 0.5956 and 0.4044

rambo's $EV is $540865 * 0.5956 = $322139.19
lunoid's $EV is $540865 * 0.4044 = $218725.81

According to the calculator, rambo got stiffed a bit by Lee Jones' proposition. What gives?
