 Professional poker player Phil Ivey is the favorite to make it to the final table of the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event. Online betting company BetUS.com has Ivey at +1400 to be one of nine 2007 WSOP finalists.Once again, the World Series of Poker will take place at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas from July 6th-17th, 2007. Besides Ivey, other poker pros expected to make it include Daniel Negreanu at +1800, Phil Hellmuth +2500 along with Chris “Jesus” Ferguson at +2500. Last year, amateur Jamie Gold took home the $12 million dollar purse. Gold is a former Hollywood agent turned poker pro after he defeated 8,772 players to win the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event last summer. BetUS.com has Jamie Gold at +6500 to make the final table this year. “I’m lucky in life, my whole life has been fortunate,“ Gold said. “Every single great thing that’s happened to me I’ve been really grateful. Maybe I was lucky. I don’t know how you can beat 9,000 people without being lucky.” It is anticipated that over 10,000 poker hopefuls will pony up the $10,000.00 to buy a seat in the greatest poker tournament in the world in 2007.
