Is this a normal payout table?

2500 entries, and top 20 get paid? Isnt that a little top heavy?

Just played for 4 hours, and finished 28th, and got diddly squat out of it. Last hand my AK loses to QQ, no improvement. Would have been in 4th position if I won it.

Although early did flop quad Jacks and quintupled out of it.. thats always nice.

As a guide, typical multi-table tournaments (other than satellites) pay out roughly 10% of the spots. So, yes, 20 spots paid when there should be ~250 seems extremely unusual.

Sounds like a freeroll to me. In that case, it's the norm to only pay a ridiculously small number of spots.

Was gonna say the same, prob a low value freeroll. Can't really pay out 250 people when the total prize pool is only $100.
