2 hour tourney becomes push strategy at an hour and half. Will not be much different in 5 hour tourney.
Flip side to this point is some/most of us all played over 100+ hours in tournament play (plus all those rollover hours) to qualify for this final tournament. Having a short final tournament would kind of short change the effort it took to qualify.

It is a big promo poker tourney and deserves a dedicated winner that put forth the time and effort to claim the prize.

It is not a 15k cut cards contest but a poker tournament final of friends and foes.
