One player that bowed out in the 102^nd place took home $791 just for his efforts alongside another 17 players.  The next placed 18 players all walked away with $874 with the next best 12 players taking $999 for their efforts.  The twelve players above these took home $1,166.  This is great for those who weren’t near the top placements.
