WSOP winner cashes chips ? you cash bet
The climax of the 41st annual World Series of Poker takes place this weekend and betED.com is giving sports bettors a chance to cash in on pro poker?s richest and most prestigious tournament.
The November Nine ? as it?s become known since the WSOP began holding the championship final in the Fall, months after the main tournament in June and July ? features nine players vying for more than $29 million in prize money, with the winner taking home $8.9 million and the almost-as-coveted WSOP Championship Bracelet.
betED.com has Jonathan Duhamel as the favorite at +225 in WSOP Odds, followed by John Dolan at +350 and Michael Mizrachi at +500.
Duhamel, a 23-year-old from Boucherville, Quebec, Canada, leads the chip count with 65,975,000.
Dolan, 24, from Bonita Springs, Florida is second with 46,250,000, while Mizrachi is actually well down the chip-count list with 14,450,000.
A total of 7,319 players began the WSOP ? a $10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold?em World Championship ? when the event kicked off in June in Las Vegas.
The final takes place at the Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, with play on Saturday and Monday.
On Monday, the final two players will square off at 8 PM, following a ceremony in which Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington will be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
