It appears that Marafioti's chatter about bumping the payouts up to the top twelve is not gaining any momentum whatsoever. The staff will not, in all likelihood, allow the payout structure to be changed after it was set. If each of the remaining players agreed, they could break it down however they saw fit, but that's an unofficial matter amongst the players themselves.
As it stands, though, nobody is really giving Marafioti the time of day, and he seems to have given up. "That's it. I'm done complaining. I've asked five times already."
Eight players will be paid for this High Roller event, and that's that.
