Visualization of a Poker Tournament

I'm interested in the emergent behavior of iterated games, and I've explored using poker tournaments as toy models. In this video, I've visualized a tournament. The players' holdings are represented by circles (the area of a player's circle is proportional to the humber of chips they have). After each turn, chips flow from one or more players to another; this flow is represented by the width of black bands connecting the players involved in the transaction.
