Final Table
The last table remaining in a poker tournament, typically consisting of 6 to 9 players. Reaching the final table in a large tournament represents a significant cash prize increase. Final table play involves intense ICM pressure as each elimination moves surviving players into higher prize tiers.
Example
You reached the final table of a 500-player tournament. With 9 players left and a $5,000 first prize, every decision carries massive pay jump implications.
