If you have gone onto any of the betting sites in the world of online casinos these days, then you would know full well that Phil Ivey is being given some extremely favorable odds to make it all the way to the main event of the 2009 World Series of Poker.

One casino gambling site called SportingBet.com has him going on to win the main event at the odds of 100/1. But some online casino wagering sites have gone even further to have Ivey taking home the big prize from Las Vegas with odds of 150/1 like Bet365.com. Those figures are incredible but it just goes to show you how much faith people have in the poker playing powers of Ivey.

Out of all the impressive professional poker players out there who play on the big casino circuit tournament events, Ivey is one who commands respect just by his use of strategy and his unbeatable skill level. Of course, since this tournament that is held in Las Vegas is considered to be the biggest and mist highly anticipated event for fans of online casinos everywhere, Ivey is not the only player so far this season who has gotten some positive recognition in terms of how far they could go in the contest.

Allen Cunningham, a player who is sponsored by Full Tilt Poker is also considered a top contender who could go on to claim all of the glory despite all of the momentum and praise that is running with Ivey. The odds for Cunnningham are quite strong to make it a long way into the competition, but only time will tell. As far as Bet365 is concerned, Cunningham is listed at odds of 200/1 ad SportingBet.com has gone so far as to win the World Series of Poker for 2009.
