    WSOP prop bet I think is a winner
    Main Event - Who Will Last Longer: Phil Ivey vs Phil Hellmuth?
    Ivey 5/6; Hellmuth even money


    ill take hellmuth at even money. I've followed the poker pros for a while now and I've watched a lot of poker videos and seen how these guys play. From my knowledge I believe hellmuth is the kinda poker play that likes to play by the book. The man has cashed in countless wsop tourneys and has won a wsop championship. He's a very conservative guy and can read people very well. From watching these pros for years he's easily the best tourney player I know other then Vanessa Selbst. Hellmuth cares soo much about poker and winning that he plays to win every time. He doesn't care about the prize money he cares about the brackets. The man has 14.

    Phil ivey in the other hand is your true gambling man. The guy is soo damn rich he doesn't give two shits about these tourneys anymore. He makes plenty money from gambling on dice. Ivey loves winning too and he's got bracelets to show but he's a real gambler and doesn't play by the book.

    so I like hellmuth to last longer because I know he will be playing to last as long as he can because if he can't win it all he loves to at least make the money. Hellmuth really knows how to pick his spots and is excellent at reading players and is very capable of laying down big hands if he knows he will lose.Only way I see hellmuth loosing this propb et is if he receives a "bad beat" or plain gets unlucky. While I believe Phil Ivey will take any opportunity to take a risky gamble rather then waiting around. I just don't think Ivey has the same drive to win abracelet like back in the day when the fields were a lot softer. Hellmuth has adjust over time well and can play we these kids now a days.

    So I believe that hellmuth is the more patient and disciplined player while Ivey is your more gambling type of man. Every move hellmuth makes is calculated and I believe he will last much longer then Phil Ivey and I wouldn't be surprised to see Ivey exited quickly from a coin flip decision.


    Phil hellmuth at even money to last longer then Phil Ivey in the World Series of poker main event.

    One thing that separates Ivey from PH is that Ivey doesn't make or rarely does stupid hero calls like Hellmuth. Ivey is obviously a better hand reader and does a great job outplaying people.

      Hellmuth is a more conservative player than Ivey and values his tournament life more in my opinion. Based on that, I think it's probably a good bet but I wouldn't put any substantial amount on it.

        I just want to get my hands on this "book" that hellmuth is playing by...... that would make shit a lot easier for me in real poker, as opposed to online poker, where the book is worthless..... read "the book", and then do the exact opposite of everything in it when you play at sbr, and you will win, win, win!!!!!

          hellmuth has a unique conservative style but it works for him, you can't argue with his results..guy is one hell of a tournament player whether you like him or not you have to respect him on the felt.

            Phil hellmuth came in 8th place out of 810 people in this years 3k no limit Holdem 6 handed tournament number 15. Phil ivey hasn't even cashed this year and almost 20 events has already past by. So this tells that hellmuth has been staying sharp and getting ready for the main event. The guy is more dedicated to improving his craft and I think he's going to last a lot longer then phil ivey in the main event this year.

              Phil hellmuth has also came in 2nd place this year in the 1500 7 card razz tournament out of 352 players of event number 7.

              So hellmuth has a 2nd place finiah out of 352 players in 7 card razz and an 8th place finish out of 810 people in the 6 max no limit Holden tournament.

              I'm telling you guys this man is one of the best tournament players in the world as phil ivey prolly hasn't even played half the event hellmuth has probably already played in let alone make it in the money. I haven't heard anything on phil ivey so far but I'm very impressed with hellmuth so far. I cannot see how phil ivey will last longer then this guy to be honest. Hellmuth will last a whole lot longer the. Phil ivey this year in the main event in my opinion.

                When it comes to the main event these players both take the game extremely seriously. This bet seems like a coin flip at best to me so even money isnt that bad for Hellmuth. Both of these players have what it takes to make deep runs in large field events.
