I am pretty confident that I could not reach any deal with Sklansky.

Why not? It is
no secret that he is risk-averse (e.g. "For me to flip a coin for 100K someone would have to lay me 130-100").
If you are heads up with David Sklansky and you persuade him that you are less risk-averse than he is, then you will be able to cut a deal that gives you more than your current tournament equity.
