Prop Bets are very common amongst top Poker Pros, this year one of the biggest prop bets at the WSOP 2010 is on Tom Dwan “Durrrr” not winning a 2010 WSOP bracelet. Many pros including Mike Matusow (Durrrr’s Full Tilt Poker team mate) and Daniel Negreanu Poker Stars had placed large bets on this, an estimated $9 million in bets.

When Durrrr made the final table of the WSOP event #11 there was a bit of tension at the Rio Casino with many players hoping that Tom Dwan would not succeed. The fear of losing millions grew stronger as Durrrr was heads-up with New Zealand player Simon Watt.

Durrrr would have won his first bracelet in a World Series of Poker event and a huge payout in prop bets worth way more than his actual WSOP earnings.
