Watching this super short stack stall and burn time banks is agonizing

Was rooting for Deeb. He maneuvered pretty well and thought his jam was sound.

The tables are so unbalanced. Someone's gonna have to get out of line if we are gonna lose someone on table A.

Will they rebalance them?

I want to clarify that I know very little about poker, but I don't understand why it takes players so long to fold absolute garbage pre-flop. Like, why are we taking 10 seconds to fold the worst hand in poker to a 2.5M raise pre-flop when you're not even one of the blinds?

Sponsors be like “when it’s your turn to act, make sure our logos are visible for at least 10 seconds”.

It's called getting face time on TV for some of them. For others, it is just part of their routine to keep their play even and not make quick decisions.
I love how some players look in agony and torn over deciding to fold 9-3 off suit and acting like they were folding a potential monster.

I mean you dont want to do the same things. You snap fold everytime and then that becomes a tell in its own right. That and these guys are calculating every single thing they could lose to.
Its a game of cat and mouse
Also my boy Luke is #1 in chip stack right now.

My boy smashed it. Took out Trayner who choked hard. Into the final table with a commanding chip lead
194 mil
next closest is at 79mil.

Its as annoying as the Raiders taking all 10 minutes to announce Mendoza, but its necessary when getting down to the last 30-50 players in a tournament. Everyone is watching you play on the live streams and relaying it to the other players at the end of the day.

Joining the hand does that too.
You can also chunk bad hands every time and still take time on mid hands.
There is no tell in mucking a junk hand quickly.

That's the NFL
They didn't used to do this and would work out deals before the draft, sometimes multiple picks, and it hurt ratings so the NFL put a stop to that for manufactured drama for ratings.

There is no information to be gained by a guy auto mucking 7-3 off in early position facing a raise. None.

You hold it as long as you can so that you see fewer hands than the other table. The ladder jumps are too high to risk blinding out with a short stack. It was a goofy table draw having all of the big stacks at the one table which gave players at Table B to play wider ranges than they normally would have been able to. The shortest stacks at table A (namely Galiana who played really well) were at a disadvantage.
Shaevel is a great example. He tanked every pre-flop decision. He was in the bottom 3 almost the entire day yesterday and yet here he is at the final table. It's annoying but effective.
Luke Jumalon is a friend of a friend. I won't be joining his rail but happy for him. Got some good fortune to get the big stack but he played it exactly like he was supposed to once he got it.

I just dont agree with this. but I will agree its not the biggest reason why they do it. They do it because they know at that stage the pay jumps are huge for 1 or 2 spots, so playing less hands over a longer period of time statistically is more likely to keep them in the tournament.
The table they showed last night the most had 2/3rds the chips. They knew that all 5 of them at one point had more than anyone at the other table. Why be risky, or quickly toss your cards.

Luke is also a friend of a friend, but ive been lucky enough to get to know him because that friend group comes into Vegas a decent amount. I wonder if we know the same people.

Correct. It has nothing to do with tells.

When you're facing a bet where a massive amount of your starting range will fold (I don't really poker anymore but I'd imagine the solvers would say at least 75%), folding one that's at the bottom of the range and would be an auto-muck in almost any early position scenario (full ring, obviously) gives what information, exactly?
"He'll auto-fold a hand that anyone of quality would fold 100/100 times" says what in the scouting report for others?
