With the November Nine firmly set in place and the storm of the World Series of Poker over for the moment and a period of calm with us for a few months, it’s always interesting to see how the bookmakers view the favourite poker players at the biggest final table of the year. Online betting sites such as Betfair and BetUs have released their odds of each player winning the Main Event, giving poker fans and bettors alike even more reason to sweat until November.
Canadian Jonathan Duhamel will enter the Main Event final table as the chip leader and is the clear favourite by all bookmakers early on. His closest competitor is 24-year-old poker pro John Dolan, who has 46,250,000. Close onto their heels are young guns Joseph Cheong, John Racener, Matthew Jarvis and Fillipo Candio who are all are hovering between 16 and 24 million, while established veteran Michael Mizrachi with a cool14.5 million is the most experienced player of the group and the favourite among many. November will sort it all out.
