With the final table of the 2008 World Series of Poker drawing ever closer, Bodog has posted a couple more prop bets for the November Nine. Not everyone will get a chance to play at a WSOP final table and win millions, but everyone can bet on how those who do will finish.
Adding to the classic prop bet of who will actually win – the odds on favorite is Dennis Phillips, the chip leader going in – is the wager on what nationality that person will be. Obviously, with five Americans sitting at the table (Phillips, Chino Rheem, Craig Marquis, Kelly Kim and Ylon Schwartz) and the aforementioned Phillips as the chip leader, the odds are good that the winner will be US-born and the Bodog oddsmakers have pegged that at 5/7. However, there are two Canadians at the table (Scott Montgomery and Darus Suharto) and the fact that Montgomery has WPT final table experience and neither of them are the short stack puts them at 2/1 that one of them will take it down. That leaves Denmark (Peter Eastgate) and Russia (Ivan
Demidov) at 9/2 and 7/2, respectively.
The second new prop bet Bodog has posted concerns which player will be first to exit the Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio on November 9. As you can imagine, the short-stacked Kim is the favorite to be that player as he only has nine big blinds with which to try and make a move, so his odds are set at 5/2. However, this is poker and anything can happen so take a look at the full list of participants and their
odds:
Dennis Phillips – 13/1
Craig Marquis – 4/1
Ylon Schwartz – 5/1
Scott Montgomery – 13/2
Darus Suharto – 5/1
Chino Rheem – 7/2
Ivan Demidov – 10/1
Kelly Kim – 5/2
Peter Eastgate – 13/2
