Poker's like that though. I don't know how many times I've been playing and suddenly my mind starts to get bored or lose focus or whatever and start playing stupid just to get it over with. I can see that being magnified in this situation. The tournament's been going for days and days, and you start thinking, "Even if I push and lose, I get $5M! Why wouldn't I? I just want out of here. I'll never grind out this guy's chip stack."
I can see it. I find it amazing these guys have the patience to even get to the final table. I suppose the payout is worth it.
