While I now can also predict the odds of the heads up race what I believe is missing is the context of how hard it is sit there at a table. We could use a info bar that tracks the total time of table play and the number of the hand being shown. Then it would make a lot of more sense when you see Phil Ivey muck a winning flush hand or player go all in with rags. I can not imagine Joe Cada and Darvin Moon playing 88 hands after 16 hours of tournament play if the tournament had continued the same night.
