We're Getting Older

Not only is there a huge imbalance in the chips at our two remaining tables, there is an impressive imbalance in the average age.

While by our reckoning the Table Of Many Chips features no-one more advanced in years than their early thirties, the average age at the Table Of Few Chips is being bumped up considerably by Nicolo Calia, Bassam Elnajjar and Igor Ivashkiv. It's hard to say whether the players' maturity is having any effect on how they're playing though - as we said, there are very few chips on that second table, so the play there is naturally going to be somewhat cagier when their tournament lives might be at stake at any moment.
