final table 

The last table of players remaining in a poker tournament. Usually it is 9 people, unless it is a 6-max event, or if it is a World Poker Tour event. Some online final tables are 10 people, such as on Ultimate Bet and Carbon.

"There were 100 people in this and only the final table gets paid, I hope I make it."

"Wow, Phil Hellmuth is at another final table!"

Final Table Courtesy 

In a poker tournament, the act of not placing a bet when other players are in the same pot as a player that is all-in. Thereby increasing the chance of the player that is all-in being knocked out. Two hands are better then one.

Jim goes all-in due to being blinded out. Tony calls. Bill calls. Everyone else folds. The flop comes. Bill bets 1000 chips. Tony folds. Bill has demonstrated a classic example of lack of Final Table Courtesy. He has lowered the chance of knocking Jim out.
