You can even buy in on day 2 for much much more money and then even if you cash still lose money, i.e. pay $1000 and cash for only $200.
Here is an example from one site:
On the first starting day, a $200 buy-in gets a player 10,000 chips, and 10 percent of the field moves on to Day Two. On the next starting day, the cost is $300 for 15,000 chips, and 15 percent of the field makes Day Two. And on the last starting day, the cost is $400 for 20,000 chips, and 20 percent of the field makes Day Two. When Day Two starts, it’s a level field among the survivors, though some paid less than others and therefore had to last a little longer to get there. But the craziness isn’t over yet, because there’s also an option to buy in at the start of Day Two for a substantially higher amount—much more than the min-cash—for the higher rollers who can’t be troubled with the early stages of a tournament.
Here is a link to one of the WPT events that did this, all the price points, entries and payout.
