It just fulfills a different kind of market need. Last year they called it a Turbo, this year they use the phrase "accelerated format." There's a market for turbos. The $235 Daily produces giant fields and $35k-50k to 1st place, but you have to grind for 8-9 hours just to hit a min-cash, then the tourney runs another 7 hours after the money. The $365 is faster, higher variance, more of a gamble, but it doesn't take as much time. Only takes about 7-8 hours start to finish. It's not intended to be a great structure, and not really competing against the better-structured tourneys in the $300-400 range at PH, Aria, Wynn. You probably wouldn't want to play it if you were just in town to play 3 or 4 tourneys in that buy-in range. It's more of an impulse buy for people who are in the Rio and want the action.
