Why is 1st place prize money twice as much as 2nd? (100k and 200k). I know there is usually a deal on the FT so it does matter as much but is it always like that...?

Because first is 14.10% and 2nd is 7.10% of the total prize pool. It isn't always like that, the %s depend on the amount of entrants. Usually first is at least close to 2x 2nd though, it's pretty standard.

10,225 at break. Wow - a whole lot of nothing.

I'm 30th in the 50+5 right now and that tourny is playing a whole lot better poker than the 200+15
