Despite not winning the World Series of Poker Main Event in the past, two popular names sit atop the betting board this year in Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey.
Negreanu, a two-time WSOP Player of the Year, and Ivey are both listed at +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000) to end up with the most chips on the 2018 WSOP Main Event odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. That event gets underway on July 2 at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas.
Negreanu made $1.96 million in WSOP earnings five years ago en route to earning his second Player of the Year award.
