English term (edited):
from the heavy hitters sitting at that table
у основных конкурентов по карточному столу
это не просто сильнейшие игроки, т.к. стоит определённый артикль: "THE heavy hitters", т.е. в данном случае они ему являются конкурентами по Big Game. И переводить надо с учетом "sitting at THAT table", т.е. подчеркивается, что они все "в одной упряжке".
Идея, конечно, смелая, и слегка отходит от оригинала, но смысл имхо передаёт хорошо :))
