The November Nine betting odds
With the final table set to resume this week we take one final look at the best betting odds for the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Now that the players are back in Vegas and the punters have had a chance to watch them in action, let's have a look at who the bookmakers fancy to win the biggest title in poker.
We have looked at sportsbooks across the board and the odds understandably have got shorter on the accomplished chipleader Cliff Josephy as money has been placed on him. The odds on Gordon Vayo have surprisngly gone up a little considering he has won over half a million during the break. Meanwhile outsiders Jerry Wong and Fernado Pons have seen their odds skyrocket since they were shown on TV.
