As the hype for the World Series of Poker Main Event continues apace Paddy Power have announced betting for the event to be held at the Rio Hotel and Casino Las Vegas from 28 July to 10 August 2006.

Interestingly the market they have opened is not for the outright winner, but to make the final table.

There are no suprises at who tops the running at this stage with Phil Ivey installed as 50/1 favourite to make the final table.

Paddy Power are particularly good at the innovative specials and there is no exception for this massive event which may see over 10,000 players competing.
