Climbing Payout Ladder Top Priority for Many Seniors

With the money bubble burst long ago, many of the competitors in the Seniors Championship have become increasingly concerned with moving up on the payout schedule.
We have spotted many players holding printed sheets with the payout structure, including seasoned pro Susie Isaacs, and disputes have arisen between players and floor staff regarding the issue. Apparently may seniors have been relying on the TV screens surrounding the tournament area to tell them exactly where they stand. Although these screens understandably run with a slight delay, as the WSOP staff sorts through the latest eliminations, many players have been displeased to find that they did not jump a payout level before busting out.
Anyone placing between 207th and 154th earned $2,667 for their showing, while the next tier of eliminations between 153rd and 100th place will pocket $3,106. Apparently this extra $500 or so dollars is a meaningful prize for many of the seniors here today, and they are adjusting their strategies to assure themselves of a pay jump.
