and it goes till 8 a.m.
and like nobody's watching anymore.
So they separate into three days now.
And so you're talking now, it's like six, seven days to get to the final table and another three days to play it.
So you're grinding for, you know, a week and a half.
Especially early on.
And then by the end, like, who knows, you know, rarely do you see, you see in the last hundred, you usually see some notable names.
Then in the last 27, you might see one, maybe two, final table, maybe one.

You know, they just want to play the main event in the World Series and they might be scared.
They might be nervous or whatever.
You don't have to worry about being balanced, right?
