Eh I tried this while he was still in the tourney. Told him he could easily negotiate the chop for like ~8.5k. When it was 4-handed for 3 seats everyone offered him the amount of cash up for grabs (7.8k) and he turned it down.
The money isn't a huge amount for him, and I think the experience was worth it at the moment (he's probably slightly regretting it now but whatever). He gets to go to vegas and play the main, he'll be happy and won't miss the hypothetical money.
