Prize Pool Unhappiness

Almost to a player there is disagreement with the short payout structure. The LAPC pays fewer places then many other tournaments. A 791 player field will typically pay 72 or even 80 places. Here we are paying only 54.

The nearly unanimous player sentiment is pay $2M for first and $1M for second and take the excess $429,970 on the first place prize and the $177,010 on 2nd place and pay down to at least 72 places.
