It must be a relief for these 8 players to know that, at least, they have already recovered the investment made in the tourney and even received two times more the buy-in.

this is a very profitable tournament to grind out for "the grinder"- but he is still a long way from the coveted bracelet and a nice paycheck as a bonus, or vice versa...i personally would go for the bonus, and forget about the bracelet- maybe even strike a deal when heads up -dude take the bracelet and let me win the cash..lol
