If the tournament staff is going to take a tip out in advance for the staff and dealers I don't think the player should be under any obligation to tip more.

And of course he isn't. I think people are generally tipping because they want to avoid being perceived as cheap. Tipping $100 more is about the worst possible move to make, because it's too little tip to avoid him looking cheap, but it makes it harder for him to take the line of "Well, the toke was already taken out of the prize pool so I'm not tipping anything."
