JimmyBlades finished 18 out of 412 players.

Obviously, you always play to win, but I'm still pretty happy with 18th. Played better then 394 other people and only rebought 1 time (right int he beginning from 1500 to 3000).

$98 bucks for 18th - 31 buy-in = $67 net / 4 hours = $16.75 an hour isn't bad.
