What do you think is fair???

My roommate signed on for the Party 30 + 3. 500 Entrants. Top 60 pay. He has dinner reservations with his girl, so with 74 people left he tells me to take over. Average chip count is 7K, and he leaves me with 14K to work with. First place is 3600.00. Well, I gave it a good run and finished 4th for him. $975.00. He gave me $250.00. Is this fair? I mean, the late tourney play is the hard part! Did I get shafted? I feel like the short end of a final table chop.

On another positive note, I satellited into the WSOP ME tournament on Sunday on Absolute. Hopefully they get enough entrants to give away a seat. If not, it'll just be a good 100+8 buy in tourney.
