I mean is 1st place that much better that the difference is 4 million dollars more? 4 million dollars more. I mean both player beat out 8,567 other players.
More money could be used to bump everyone else a little more if they payouts weren't so top heavy.
You should take a look at how things were 20 years ago. Winner took 30% of the prizepool.
