By the time it's down to 5th place...still a darned nice finish out of 120....the prize is $15,000. Sixth through tenth gets $7,000.

Seems to me like $2,500 is a lot to risk when a top 8% finish nets $7,000 and a top 4% finish nets $15,000.

It's pretty much come in first and get the $175,000 to really be worthwhile.
