WSOP Final Table: \"Official\" News, Results, and Discussion
A new World Series of Poker champion will be crowned when play resumes today at 4pm (Las Vegas time) at Binion's. The championship will be contested by eight "unknowns" and "bad boy" (or just misunderstood?) Mike Matusow.
Everybody will be a millionaire after this tournament. For the first time, everybody who made the final table will take home at least $1,000,000. Here are the payouts. 1st $7,500,000 2nd $4,250,000 3rd $2,500,000 4th $2,000,000 5th $1,750,000 6th $1,500,000 7th $1,300,000 8th $1,150,000 9th $1,000,000 Chip stacks are particularly even in the middle of the pack and the chip leader doesn't have nearly as commanding a lead as Greg Raymer had a year ago. Here are the seating assignments and chip stacks at the start of play. Joseph Hachem - $5,420,000 (seat 1) Andrew Black - $8,140,000 (seat 2) Tex Barch - $9,330,000 (seat 3) Daniel Bergsdorf - $5,270,000 (seat 4) Mike Matusow - $7,410,000 (seat 5) Aaron Kanter - $10,700,000 (seat 6) Brad Kondracki - $1,180,000 (seat 7) Steve Dannenmann - $5,460,000 (seat 8) Scott Lazar - $3,370,000 (seat 9)] |

I'd like to see a Pokerstars threepeat for selfish reasons too, as I do almost all of my online playing there, and I'd imagine it'd help to grow their customer base. |

[/ QUOTE ]They're giving Matusow particularly low odds. It's not like he is just a total donk, and he has chips to work with. I think betting for Matusow would be +EV. edit: n/m I thought they were giving him 11-1. |

If Matusow wins the ME:
What's the over under on how long til he is dead from raging parties and/or some other irate player giving him a beat down. I say 3 years. His drug dealer must be licking his chops. |

[/ QUOTE ] Mathematically it looks like Kanter is the best bet, and Kondracki is by far the worst. |
