2 become 1 - final table question!

[RobMay]

Here's a question I can't find the answer to on homepokertourney.com ...

We're expecting a few more than 10 people to turn up to the pub game I help run on Sunday, so we're going to have to have a 2-table tournament. I figured that the easiest way to do it was to have (if, say, we get 16 people) 2 tables of 8 players, with the top 4 on each making the final table.

But if one table gets down to 4 players at 300/600 and the other table finishes at 400/800, then what level should the final table start up at?

Or is there an even simpler way of running a 2-table game?
