These come with buy-ins of $2.20, $3.30, $5.50, and $1. Two satellites, in particular, stand out from the crowd.
The $2.20 buy-in satellite at 4:05 p.m. on February 7 has a 100-seat guaranteed prize pool. An hour later, there is a $5.50 buy-in 50/50 Series Main Event satellite that has a whopping 200 seats guaranteed.
