A ballet of three

Last night, using live streaming, I watched the final broadcast of the 2014 WSOP main event. Instead of the expected heads up match, however, there were three players left over from the night before. This made for a lot more drama, in my opinion. I think the WSOP should consider doing this on purpose in the future, ending the penultimate broadcast as soon as the fourth place finisher busts.

It was riveting to watch the three players exchanging blows, and observe the unique dynamic that occurs at three handed tables. In any one hand, generally at most two of the players will make a stab at the pot. It's just too dangerous for all three of them to stay in the hand. That means there are three distinct matchups - Player A versus Player B, Player A versus Player C, and Player B versus Player C. The way the hands unfold is quite artistic; it's like a ballet of three!

There's something very intimate about the confrontations; the players watch each other so very closely. They can't help but end up having the utmost respect for each other. In a way it's a shame there can only be one champion.
