Don't Surrender to a Chip Count

The final table of a tournament is obviously a great place to be. Not only is it a testament to your skill, stamina, and the ability to keep your head in stressful situation, but it also means you are finishing in the money.

During this year's World Series of Poker we have seen a lot of really great plays, but over the course of the events we have also seen a lot of players give up at the final table.
