You could play a little while longer and let 3 or 4 more players bust-out and then take a chop at 12 players or something if you want.

The structure for this must be very top heavy with big jumps from 4-3-2-1 if 17 people chopped and all shared 4th place money. I wonder if he wouldn't have to get down to 8 or 9 to really move up the payout significantly?

OP, what was the original payout structure?

I don't know the exact structure but I do know what the payments were for the 3 people that were eliminated. To get over $100 I would have had to atleast get 8th if I remember correctly -
20- $27
19 - $35
18 - $45

I meant that for you to really move up well over the $240 you got you'd have to have chopped with about 8 or 9.
