Mega satellites were invented years ago by Poker Hall of Famer Eric Drache at Binion’s Horseshoe as a way for players to win a seat into a bigger event for much smaller cost.
This format took off, and has been the norm for years. The typical satellite affords the opportunity for a player to win a seat to a larger event for only 5-10 percent of the buy-in.
