Well it is difficult - perhaps 50/50

I agree with cofail, its 50/50 but, I voted for Gelfand (don't know why)

I asked Magnus Carlsen whom he considers the favorites, here is his opinion:

A little late reply here :) but I think Gelfand and Kramnik will take it in the rapids, assuming Kramnik-Grischuk will be drawn

I voted for Kamsky, but I'm sure they'll get a draw...

There should also be this option.

Vote #650

I'm stunned by the result of this poll. Kamsky will be on the ropes.  It's outstanding that he has survived some of the difficult positions that he obtained.  May he continue to do so.  In any case, Kramnik is the favorite because he is the most difficult to beat of the remaining players.  Possible is Kamsky vs Grischuk, the least likely match-up in the final at the beginning of these matches.

Very odd results! Boris is a monster and Kamsky has done extremely well to even get to the tie breaks.
