I agree with this. The real money aspect changes the dynamics of the tourney dramatically. For people who didn't have to put up the cash, i'm sure that the idea of walking away from the tourney with a couple of thousand on top of having the whole tourney expierence is a no brainer for them.
It does works out well for the serious players, because there's that percentage of people that won't go for the hail mary late in the game.
