Online poker room Pokertropolis released opening odds for this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP) final event winner. Strangely enough, Hollywood stars often outshone poker stars in the odds listing. The top bet according to Pokertropolis is actor Ben Affleck at 450-1. Close behind, Tobey Maguire was set at 500-1, with James Woods in at 700-1. Other Hollywood names to grace the online poker site's odds listing include Matthew Perry, Don Cheadle, Shannon Elizabeth, Dennis Rodman, David Schwimmer, Danny Masterson, Chris Masterson, Mena Suvari and Charlie Sheen, all with odds of 1,000-1.

In the pro poker player's corner, last year's WSOP winner, Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, won respectable odds of 600-1. His pro poker colleagues, however, did not fare quite as well. Paul "Eskimo" Clark was pinned at 800-1, Kathy Liebert and Phil Helmuth, Jr., at 900-1, while Annie Duke and Chris Moneymaker were put all the way down at 1000-1. Even David Anthony Williams, who last year finished the WSOP in second place, got odds of 1200-1.

Registered Pokertropolis users can place their bets on the site at www.Pokertropolis.com. Bets can range between $10 and $50.
