Exactly. Poker Go and WSOP build the tournament up. Of course it's the main event. There is tension and drama during 99% of the event. Then the last day they really build it up.
Down to the last 3!
Who will win!
They make a whole production out it with armed security and brief cases full of cash.
But if they all chop the night before and nobody really cares who wins, with no drama. Then the whole last day is really just a farce. It's like WWE. Again only talking about that last day. I just kept slipping ahead on the youtube replay because it was unwatchable to me because it just seemed like that didn't care anymore. Like a play money tourney.
I'm sure chops happened back in the day as well, even in the main event. But those were edited and aired later so it wasn't obvious.
