WSOP Final Table Press Release
2009 WSOP Final Winner too close to call: Moon and Buchman joint favorites to walk away with the title
Friday, 06 November 2009
David Moon goes to the final table of the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) as chip leader and favorite in the Betfair betting stakes. Along with Eric Buchman, they are both +430 favorites to walk away with the bracelet and $8.5 million dollar first prize. Phil Ivey, although seventh in chips, is third favorite at +580 on Betfair to win the WSOP Title.
Nearly £50,000 has been matched on the Betfair market so far with more anticipated before they kick off tomorrow.
“Although Moon is the clear chip leader in the event, this hasn’t translated into him being an out an out favorite in the betting market. Half of all the bets on Betfair have been on experienced pro Phil Ivey who I am sure will be pushing hard to get another bracelet this weekend” commented Richard Bloch, Head of International PR for Betfair.

A real fan must have written this one.... ;-)
Who cares how they put his name, he'll be forgotten in 2 weeks anyways.
Hard to take a betting co. serious if they can't get the name of the players correct...
As much as I am liking Moon's straight forward play and his attitude.. I don't see his run holding up for much longer..he isn't always going to get the plate handed to him..he is actually going to have to work at the final table methinks...
<<channels Norman Chad>>
"Those are Ivey's chips, the rest of the table is just playing with 'em"
<<channeling ends>>
muahahahahaha
what, 1 day till ivey effect begins:)
If Ivey wins a hand that Moon didn't play...did it really happen?
I think not
After seeing him knock Kopp off, how he is questioning Kopp's play that late in the game makes me think he is just really cocky.
Mr.Moon will come in 3rd I think.
ya but moon can't fold every hand headsup;)
None.
Not a glimmer of hope.
He is pretty good, though . . . isn't he?
lol your the greatest milo:)
pokernews is doing live reporting presented by pokerstars, what it will all be i am not sure.
Also for anyone who does not want to know the results then don't view this thread as I along with a few others prob will be cheering and talking about the action as it happens.
I was going to redeposit on stars and go at it on the poker today but only a few hours away from the final table so i guess that is not happening, battle of the planets celebration starts tomorrow anyway so will see if i can get into that.
