Has anyone played one of these yet? Is it a good use of 5k FPPs? It seems like it would be, 1M prizepool, 12k players - 1 in 3 get paid so the flat structure kind of sucks.

I played the first one they ran, cashed in the 2nd or 3rd payout level. Play was as bad as you'd expect in a turbo FPP tournament with lots of sat entires, plus there was a little overlay (only about 11K runners, as I recall).
From a $/hr perspective, I think the 5400 FPP million sats might be better (10-man SNGs that pay 4), especially if you can multi-table them and if you have a lot of FPP to convert. OTOH, I've been angling for Supernova all this time mostly to get the concierge or new 250K FPP/$4000 bonus because the exchange rate on those is such that it's probably not worth the time to play the FPPs to convert them.

Note, that going my suggested route with the Million sats gets you $T, which are worth slightly less than $ if you don't normally play tourneys in the first place.
