WSOP PLO8 1.5k satellites at the Rio

sat 1/2 - $175 pays $1620 (3 $500 chips + 120 cash)
sat 3 - $325 pays $3120 (6 $500 chips + 120 cash)

chops happen very often when it gets down to 2-3 players
structure is very shallow and fast

15 min. levels at $175; 1k starting chips (25/25, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200, 150/300)
20 min. levels at $325; 1.5k starting chips (same blind amounts)
