Poker is becoming an increasingly popular spectator sport, and this year the TV coverage, combined with the spectators at the live event, stand to reach record numbers. Sporting analysts are already offering their thoughts on some of the more popular bets, and odds are appearing online.
It is expected that a player will win two or more bracelets in the event this year, and most agree that Phil Hellmuth will take home his twelfth bracelet this year.
The odds on the biggest money winners should come as no surprise. Daniel Negreanu is the favourite at 3/1 for winning the most money during the poker tournaments, with several other big names making the list:
Doyle Brunson – 7/2
Phil Hellmuth – 5/2
Barry Greenstein – 5/1

Mike Caro - 12/1
David Sklansky – 12/1
Phil Gordon – 10/1
TJ Cloutier – 6/1
Johnny Wenzel – 10/1
The Ante-up for Africa tournament has attracted the attention of the bookmakers too. The celebrity expected to last the longest in that tournament is Don Cheadle, at 7/1. Montel Williams, Hank Azaria, and Casey Afflek are all at 8/1, with Matt Damon, Jason Alexander, Brad Garret, Reggie Miller, Marlon Wayans, Sarah Silverman, and Herschel Walker all at 9/1.
