Default It\'s Las Vegas and I came here to gamble! (WSOP satellite HU story)

It's a 125$ Satellite at the WSOP. Winner takes two 500$ tourney chips +120 cash, but it seems like 75% of the time, once it goes into heads up with equal stacks, deals start being negotiated. I'm heads up with 7000:3000 chip disadvantage (with 300 600 blinds) but i double up from the SB with 86 vs. A3.
As soon as i win the hand my opponent offers me a chopped pot. I now have an edge in chips, plus my poker coach (and brother) curtains is watching, plus the guy is way too tight, so i say "NO DEAL unless i get the extra 125 in cash" Then he insults me and calls me "very lucky" (for pushing and winning with q6 vs.AK,getting AA with 500 chips left, etc.) and says he's a much better player than me. The dealer is also bullying me into taking a deal! I say "It's LAS VEGAS AND I CAME HERE TO GAMBLE. And I'm obviously luckier than you."

Four hands later, i increase my chip lead by pushing. I have about 5:3 when i pick up 3s from the SB. I push and he looks at his cards and says "I'm going to call you sweetie, but i want to give you one last chance to chop the pot. By the way, i have a pair"

What would you do?!!?!?
