Bodog now Offering Prop Bets on WSOP Final Table

Now that the 2008 WSOP has wrapped up and the “November Nine” are set, the endless debates as to who will win the $9.1 million first-place prize at the two-day final table have begun, and BodogPoker is giving you a chance to put your money where your mouth is and get in on the action by offering a prop bet on the WSOP final table.

Leading the way at the November final table with 26.2 million in chips is the amatuer poker player from Illinois, Dennis Phillips, and Bodog is giving him 3 to 1 odds that he can take it down. Less than 2 million in chips behind Phillips is Muscovite Ivan Demidov (24.4 million), who is also sitting at 3 to 1 odds as he’s just a pot or two out of the chip lead.

Next up is Canadian poker player Scott Montgomery and his 19.7 million chip stack. Due to his recent final table appearance at the WPT LA Poker Classic and the fact that he is one of the most experienced players at the final table, which unfortunately isn’t saying much, his odds are currently running at 4 to 1. Montgomery is followed by Danish poker player Peter Eastgate, who will start with 18.3 million in chips and odds of 11 to 2 that he can overtake the top three spots to win.

The next two WSOP final tablists have almost identical chip stacks but different experience levels when it comes to poker, leading to slightly different odds on their expected success. Ylon Schwartz only has a 5,000 chip lead over Darus Suharto but the odds for the two are 8 to 1 and 17 to 2, respectively; mainly because Schwartz is a known veteran of the Brooklyn poker scene while Suharto is an unknown player with very limited live poker success, up until now.

Toward the bottom of the posted odds is the most experienced player at the final table, David “Chino” Rheem. Unfortunately, despite his live tournament success, his short chip stack of 10.2 million leaves him with a lot of work to do and a 19 to 2 chance of getting that work done. Below him is Craig Marquis whose odds sit just a little above Chino’s at 10 to 1. The shortest stack at the table is Kelly Kim with 2.6 million and is thus the long shot to win the title at 25 to 1.

The final table will take place at the Rio Hotel and Casino on November 9 with the heads-up match for the $9.1 million first-place prize taking place on November 10. Head over to the Bodogs Sportsbook for more details on Bodog’s WSOP final table prop bet.
