Hedge fund manager David Einhorn is among four finalists at this year’s World Series of Poker Inaugural Big One For One Drop representing the business community.  His odds to win were set at 14-1. 

Ladbrokes has released odds to win the World Series of Poker Big One For One Drop 2012 now that the final table has been determined.  Ladbrokes does not accept customers from the US at this time unfortunately, but those around the world can take advantage of these odds appearing below. 

The $1 million buy-in will reward the biggest cash prize ever in the history of live poker tournaments, $18.3 million and some change. 

Einhorn is a 43-year-old hedge fund manager from Rye, New York. He is the Founder and President of Greenlight Capital. Greenlight Capital is a "long-short value-oriented hedge fund." Started in 1996 with $900,000, Greenlight's annualized return for investors is about 22 percent. When not running his successful business, Einhorn has been known to play cards, and play them well. In the 2006 WSOP Main Event — the largest poker tournament in history with 8,773 entrants — Einhorn finished in 18th place and went on to donate his $659,000 in winnings to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

An active philanthropist, Einhorn has stated his intent to donate to the City Year Foundation for this event. City Year is an education-focused non-profit that partners with high-need public schools to provide full-time targeted student interventions.

“You could tell, once the cards went in the air, that he was there to focus on the poker decisions,” said Seth Palansky, a spokesman for the World Series of Poker. “He’s not the flashiest guy you’ll find,” Mr. Palansky continued. “But I believe that’s the way he likes it. He’s not an attention seeker at all.”

The Big One For One Drop tournament will be broadcast live on ESPN starting at 3 pm ET.

For the most part, poker players and successful gamblers in general tend to hog the glory.
