As you look down the list, the change in how the prize money is allocated becomes more pronounced. The players who finish 36th to 28th will win $285,678, while those who finish between 27th and 19th earn $333,490. So if you make it down to the final three tables and get eliminated, you "only" make $47,812 more. Not that nearly fifty grand is anything to sneeze at, hence the quotation marks.
If you barely squeak into the money you'll double your buy in and win $20,320, which is a decent return after a long week of hard work. It's not as gaudy a number as $8.25 million, but it sure beats finishing in 622nd place. Otherwise known as the Bubble.
