The 2009 World Series of Poker is underway in Las Vegas and betED.com has betting odds for all the top players.

betED has four players as the favorites to win the WSOP Main Event No Limit Texas Hold’em tournament, which kicks off July 3 with the final table in November.

Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Gus Hansen and Tom Dwan are all at +10000 in WSOP Betting Odds.

betED.com also has a number of WSOP prop bets, including picking the nationality and age group of the Main Event winner.

Ivey has won seven WSOP bracelets, including three bracelets at the 2002 World Series of Poker, tying Phil Hellmuth Jr., Ted Forrest and Puggy Pearson for the most wins in a single year.

In the WSOP Main Event, Ivey placed in the top 25 three times from 2002 to 2005 – 23^rd in 2002, 10th in 2003, and 20th in 2005.

Negreanu became the youngest WSOP bracelet winner when he picked up $169,460 at the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold’em event in the 1998 WSOP, a record he held until 2004.

He went on to win three more World Series bracelets and has appeared at 12 final tables. He was named the World Series of Poker player of the year in 2004 and World Poker Tour (WPT) player of the year in 2005.

Negreanu’s total live tournament winnings of more than $11.4 million place him second on the all-time money list behind Jamie Gold.

Hansen has won three WPT open tournaments and has earned total live tournament winnings of more than $7.2 million.

And Dwan cashed twice last year, the first year that he was eligible to play in a WSOP event. He made the final table in both the $10,000 World Championship Mixed Event and the $5,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw with Rebuys event, finishing 8^th in both.
