    I think its pretty interesting that Bodog (not sure about the other betting sites) has the best odds for Jonathan Little and Scott Clements (both 20 to 1). They're odds are better than DN and Antonious, and Ivey. They gave Johnny Chan 20/1 too, but I'm not sure what to think of that. Both Little and Clements are great players so they deserve to be the favorites.

    I also found it funny that Sam Grizzle was given the same odds as George Costanza.

    How much is Wasika to repeat? I wonder what I would be if I win the seat this Sunday in the Finals at PS. Maybe 200-1? LOL

    The only reason Little and Scott are 20-1 is because they are receiving the most action. I think they were initially listed as 40 to 50-1. The faves are Ivey, DN and Patrik. Chan was like 70-1 and has been bet down to 20-1. It's not an indication of their chances of winning just how much money that has been put on them that is driving their odds down.

    I think it's funny Grizzle gets invites to events like this because of one episode of WSOP in 2003.

    Bets I like (odds listed for Bodog):

    Daniel Schreiber: 50/1 Winner of WSOP HU Championship
    Phil Laak: 65/1 He only plays NL Hold'em, so he has an advantage over the mixed game players, and he is listed as basically even money...

    Also, if the line on Hooman Nikzad is better than 50/1, which it should be since he is an unknown, take it very quickly. He is a very very good player, played 40/80 and 60/120 with him here at Casino AZ, and he has a lot of poker success, just no big TV appearances.
