If you're having to lessen money from the winner, I'd just do something fun/funny for second place: an ooc, completely random, unannounced item.
There are so many cool things in game, from minions to mats to pieces of pretty gear to chocobo barding to whatever. Make it completely ooc, make it fun, make it a 'hey, thanks for participating and helping to make this a good show' type of deal.
That way icly you keep the winner takes all, but oocly you can have a nice laugh with the people who showed up once it's over.
...and I mean if they're being a bad sport give them an ugly minion. ;D
