David Williams When it comes to the World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event, everyone can remember the legends of poker that have taken the title of Champion. What is lost in the hours of time, in many cases, are the runner up poker player, who came within a different card, an untimely bet, or a mistake from being the champion. Such as McBride, Harthcock and Van Horn have been runner up in the largest poker tournament in the universe and have quietly slipped back into the shadows after their moment in the glory.
Williams, who was bred in Tournaments on the internet
in Dallas, TEXAS and now reside in LV was a smart school student who was a champion in the intriguing card game of Magic: The Gathering. David noted the similarities in strategy between poker and tricks with cards in the spring of 2004, Williams was one of the perceived great bad players warriors among the then record 2,500 plus players who participated in the failed in the Championship Event of the WSOP. As he progressed through the event, he showed excellent poker skills and also showed he was eager to learn more about the game as he befriended and learned from European poker legend Marcel Luske.
After such a great perform it would have been cool for David Williams to walk away from the poker action. To his pat on the back he has only sent his star higher into the sky since that day in the summer 2004. Only a little while following the World Series, he took his game to the WPT and finished second to Daniel Negreanu at the 2004 Borgata Poker Open.
2006 has been the time that Williams won that major title. After a 4th place finish at the WPT in the month of March, Williams captured the first major H.O.R.S.E. tournament during the WSOP at Caesars in LV, then moved back to the Rio Casino to war with the best in the world. The 37th WSOP was the best moment for Williams as he captured his first bracelet in 7 Card Stud and nearly took a second title with a runner-up finish in Deuce to 7 lowball. All in his short career, Williams has won in 30 tournaments and has earned over $5 million.
David has a very different style of action that makes it hard to get a handle on what exactly he is doing while playing poker. He can go from a highly aggressive, chip grabbing style to a very smart, slow, controlled style that fakes his intentions. These different styles of poker, while important for anyone to have, are more evident in Williams and perhaps serve to his better game and thus cashes in more often. because of his timing. |
