You can call me an ignorant for asking this, but isnt this a small first prize for a $109 buy-in? We are talking about a 2,500 players field... 100x2500=$250K. So, first prize would usualy be around $100K, or at least $80k, now $40 looks little... This doesnt take any merit out of Liv, that sure had to do a lot of good work to get this first prize.

payout is different from site to site and even in same site some tournaments have more splitting. but this is a big tournament with 2500 players , if 250 are paid u cant expect first place to take 30%
