Default Pokerstars $1 Million Turbo Takedown

Anyone considering playing in this? Costs 5,000 FPP's to enter. Top prize is $100,000 and it pays 4000 places. Hell if you finish 4000th you get 90 bucks for your trouble I know somebody did a study recently about the value of Fpp's. Does this tourney appear to be worth the 5k points ?

I cant afford it, I've wasted literally 1000's of Fpps in the last few weeks on pointless satelites and meagre added buy ins with far too many players.

I would have played if i could : (

THF Player of the Year
The first time, on 17 February, it was a $2 Million Turbo Takedown with a Buy In of 10,000 FPP but that tournament did not reach the maximum amount of players. Now the prize pool is halfed and the Buy In and Pay Outs too. With the Buy In lowered to 5,000 FPP it will probably reach maximum entrants which is 12,000.

How much is a FPP worth: $215/13,500 FPP = 0.01592592592592592592. Let's round that up to 1 FPP is $0.016.

Total FPP's = Buy In x maximum entrants = 5,000 x 12,000 = 60,000,000 FPP's. In dollars they are worth 60,000,000 x 0.016 = $960,000.

Actual Prize pool is $1,000,000 so even with the maximum entrants this tournament would be a good deal.

Buy in is 5,000 FPP x $0,016 = $80 and 4,000th place prize money is $90. With all the satellites towards this event I'm sure a few can make it.

There is a big variety of FPP satellite buy-in's to it as well. They higher the buy-in the smaller the field.
