Feel free to rebuke me if you deem necessary, but I believe that it is being blown out of proportion.
Edit: if you consider that .005 percent of the average household income of 40K per year is $200 and roughly 11-22 players chip into the pool it would be an average man's bet of 5-10 dollars. Kick in the fines and penalties that were allocated to these payouts and respectively it wasn't much at all.

The dollar amount really isn't the issue.
