Small Players On The Field

While all the big players trying to win his bracelet at World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) in London, small players are playing on high stakes tables. Kinexxx and halfdozen999  are one of them. Even though they do not play so high as others professionals maybe, but their pots are still pretty high.

Those two players are a bit unknown, comparing to such players as David Benyamine, Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius. While all those professionals are playing at WSOPE, at this moment smaller players are dominating the high stakes tables.

Their pots are not so high (approximately ~$30,000) as some pots on the last week (there were even $500,000 pots), but still they are totally worth looking at.

Here is a review of their heads-up (the 3rd player Rob Hollink is sitting out). Pretty nice action, even though the pot is not so high as we got used to in the last few weeks, but still, it is more than 90% of people make per month.
