When a final table starts, typically the mood is very festive. You have a mix of players that are happy to just be at the final table, and those that are just sitting back waiting for the real play to begin. We are now at the point at the final table where things become much more serious. There is very little, if any, table talk from the players. Spectators have a hush over them. You have a little muttered chatter from the crowd, but most of it is speculation about how long of a day it will be. The serious poker playing has begun. It should make for a long and interesting ride.
