Look for these poker pros to finish high in this event:

The 2010 WSOP already has some hefty poker prop bets, one with Phil Ivey and Howard Lederer and one with Justin Bonomo. I’m expecting a smaller turnout for the main event and 10k HORSE, I’d say 10% down from last year. I think this may be the year that a female pro takes down the main event if Annette Obrestad can get a big stack out of day 2. It might be the year that a famous pro like Phil Ivey or Phil Hellmuth takes it down. Get ready for the 2010 World Series of Poker!

note: I will be adding to this list up until the Thursday before the WSOP
