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.

When High Stakes Poker pros get bored at the tables they love to challenge each other with some outrageous prop bets. Being the gambling type most pros will accept these challenges, recently on a High Stakes Poker episode Durrrr challenged Phil Ivey to become a vegetarian for one year.
Tom Dwan offered what could have been the biggest prop bet ever with a proposed one million dollars on the line, unfortunately the bet has since been canceled with Ivey buying out early.
