    • WSOP Main Event Finally Underway


    It's what we've been waiting for - Event #58 of the 2011 World Series of Poker has finally got underway. Hosted at the Rio All-Suite Casino in Las Vegas, the Main Event this year has attracted a field of willing participants all willing to part with the $10,000 buy in which, over the next 13 days will be whittled down to a final table and then to one tired winner. This is possible the most coveted bracelet event, although the Player's Championship - Event #55, which features a variety of Poker types, runs it a close second.



    As far as the bookies see the Main Event, the winner is always a tough one to predict, it's quite possible for a relatively unknown player to make it to the final table and from there it's anyone's guess. Phil Hellmuth is one of the favourites at around 150/1. Jonathan Duhamel, winner of the 2010 Championship and currently one of the players to beat on the circuit, is only priced at around 225/1. Matt Affleck, fifteenth placed last year, comes in at 300/1. A better bet may be on those reaching the final table or those cashing at some point. Phil Hellmuth is always a reliable bet you should be able to grab odds of about 5/1 on him reaching the final table.



    How about a punt on the top woman finisher - there won't be that many entrants and the odds reflect that. Vanessa Sebst (10/1), Olivia Boeree (11/1) and Leo Margets (20/1) are in with a shout for this accolade. If you're not betting then just sit back and enjoy the Poker and start saving for next year's buy-in.



    Hellmuth Loses Player's Championship, Doesn't Go Berserk



    For anyone who follows Phil Hellmuth from afar, its no surprise that his reputation for sometimes childish behaviour has earned the nickname 'Poker Brat'. However he surprised more than a few people when finishing runner-up to Brian Rast in the Player's Championship. Throwing away a 5:1 chip lead, Hellmuth missed out on a bracelet event for the third time in the 2011 WSOP but his behaviour was impeccable. There were no silly tirades against the winner or his play, just a congratulatory handshake and well-deserved applause from the crowd. Well done Phil!
