Agreed. That said, a husband and wife team topping two very elite male players in a final is a very nice story, even on the kiddie tables.

It’s also worth saying that the likeliness of the Styer’s practicing this format together as much as they have cannot be overlooked.

Two fairly inexperienced small table players schooled two of the most experienced small table players of this generation. While I agree it could probably only happen on the kiddie tables, it is still a huge upset.

A race to 6 on small tables is about the equivalent of a race to 4 on big tables. Everyone knows the shorter the race the more chance the underdog has, but yes, this was an extremely impressive performance from the Styer’s.

Add to that there was more pressure on the experienced heavy favorites playing against the mixed pair. SVB’s missed straight in shot in the final game was shocking - I can only assume he had a less than full pocket to shoot at.
