A dozen Main Event markets are now available for the Main Event in addition to "outright betting," "to make final table" and "to make the money" for the H.O.R.S.E. and $10k Omaha tournaments.

Paddy Power, head of communications for the bookmakers said, "The WSOP is the biggest poker extravaganza on the planet and we're giving punters our widest selection ever. For the Main Event we have markets on Top European, Top British, Top Scandinavian, Top German and Top Irish. You can guess who I'll be cheering on!"

Odds are available on more than 500 players to make the final table. Phil Hellmuth, on the back of a record breaking 11th WSOP bracelet is available at 33-1.
