Stephensen's Hiding in Plain Sight
The black baseball cap and scruffy beard will lead most people to believe that the player at their table is just another online poker player. Norwegian pro Felix Stephensen however is much more than that, as he's part of the 2014 World Series of Poker November Nine.
Stephensen is the third November Niner we've spotted this week after Andoni Larrabe and Jorryt van Hoof both played on Day 1a. The former advanced with 40,100 chips to Day 2 while Van Hoof was knocked out in the second level of play.
Stephensen comes into November second in chips behind van Hoof while Larrabe sits in fourth place, right behind Mark Newhouse.
There are only a few weeks left for the finalists of the WSOP Main Event to get some extra practice in, and Stephensen seems to be making the most of it.
