It will boil down to real pros and imagined pros buying the 3k and the average joe gets to participate for less money.
Sounds fine to me.
also eliminates the needs for satellites to said tourney, imo
I agree regarding it being close to tantamount to a satellite. On Twitter yesterday I posted:
"(The $1K, 10,000 chip buy in) is a way of a smaller rolled player "winning" a guaranteed seat into a much bigger buy in comp, only with a less than tournament average stack when they "arrive". A kind of satellite with extra benefits I'd say"
Naturally the main benefit is the improved ICM profile of already being in the comp rather than the comparatively lower ICM value of a conventional and pure satellite costing $1K.
