Compared to the size of the field, Scandinavian players do very well in European live tournaments. Not many of the good players go to US to play WPT etc., they are also very rare in WSOP.

Why would they when they get taxed at up to 30%!!! Unless they can find a British player to back them and thus avoid the tax then it doesn't seem worth their while.
