Help Me, Poker Experts!

I played a tournament satellite and finished equal 1st, winning entry to another tournament. The hand history doesn't state how much that is worth, but clearly it is not worth nothing. How can Poker Copilot automatically and simply determine the "amount" I've won?

Here's an excerpt from the tournament summary log, showing what the total info available. (I'm stevoski111):

Can it be as simple as taking the total prize pool, subtracting the cash paid out to players who did not win a sat token, then dividing that value across the players who did receive a sat token? All sat tokens by definition must be of equal value, so unless there is some other variable:

(Total prize pool - total cash paid out) / (token awarded)

I agree with Devin. Ignore the fact that this was a satellite. Calculate the expected total payout to the top eight and then the average is the amount you are credited with winning.

As Devin says it can indeed be found from the data avalible.

Sum the prizes giving out to the players who didn't tie for 1st place, and subtract from the total price money. The remaining are equaly split out on the 1st ties.

If I didn't already knew that the Double Deuce is a $22 tour, I would figure it by
(192 - 1.92 - 2.88 - 4 - 7.2) / 8

Thanks for the suggestions, Devin, Rick, and ACO. It sounds good.
