The odds to win the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event are now posted at NSAwins.com and vegas oddsmakers have made Darvin Moon(2.5/1, +225) the favorite to win it. Moon is the favorite to win the tournament primarily due to his huge chip count(58,930,000) and had been a part-time poker player prior to playing in this year’s WSOP. Moon qualified for the event by winning a $130 Satellite at his local casino. Moon, who hails from Oakland, MD, will have his hands full in this year’s “November Nine” final table, as one of pro poker’s biggest names will be sitting right by his side. Phil Ivey, regarded as one of the best poker players in the world, also will be at the 2009 WSOP final table with a chip count of 9,765,000 when the tournament resumes on November 7th at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Ivey has already won two bracelets at this year’s World Series of Poker and can never be counted out no matter how far behind he is on the chip count leaderboard. Another name of note at the final World Series of Poker table is Jeff Shulman. Shulman is the editor of CardPlayer magazine and ruffled the feathers of the WSOP tournament powers that be earlier this summer when he said he would throw the winning bracelet in the garbage if he won because he feels the WSOP “treats his magazine unfairly.” View the chip count leaders and the 2009 World Series of Poker Odds to win the Main Event at Rio in Las Vegas this November 7th-10th below:
