Who Is The Favorite To Win the World Series of Poker Main Event?

Published on July 21st, 2010 6:20 am EST

BetUS.com recently released betting odds for the World Series of Poker main event final table that is set to take place in November.

As you probably figured out already, Jonathan Duhamel is the current favorite to take down the main event, as he is currently listed at +275 to win. Duhamel managed to finish Day 8 of the main event with nearly 20 million chips more than his next closest competitor, John Dolan.

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, who has the most experience of any of the other players at the final table, is currently listed at +500 to win. It will be interesting to see if gamblers jump on Mizrachi as they did with Phil Ivey last year.

Here are the full betting odds as right now:

Jonathan Duhamel, +275
John Dolan, +375
Michael Mizrachi, +500
Joseph Cheong, +750
John Racener, +900
Matthew Jarvis, +1000
Filippo Candio, +1200
Soi Nguyen, +1400
Jason Senti, +1600

Cheong and Racener seem like the best value to me at this point, but that's just my opinion.
