David Williams Victorious at the WPT World Championship!

Poker_Player_US Leave a comment

David Williams Wins the WPT!The drought is over for poker professional David Williams! Williams won the WPT World Championship at the Bellagio Casino with pocket deuces, beating Eric Baldwin’s pair of aces by getting a third two on the turn!

This marks the first WPT win for David after being runner-up at the Borgata Poker Open in Season III and finishing 4th in both the Bay 101 in Season IV and the Mirage Poker Showdown in Season V. The win was worth a $1.5 million payday for David! "It’s pretty awesome to have my first one be the biggest one," Williams said.

I am sure the win will be a great confidence builder and coming just a few short months away from the 2010 World Series, I would make David a favorite to earn another WSOP bracelet. He won his first bracelet in the $1,500 7-Card Stud event. And had a Main Event finish in second place, losing to poker pro Greg “Fossilman” Raymer.

In a press release from Bodog yesterday:

Best of all, of all the WPT events to win, William’s took down the most prestigious, the WPT World Championship, held at the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas this past week.

From the start of the tournament Williams’ was feeling good about his chances, so much so that in a post-victory interview with WPT.com, he said of his friends and family: “I told everybody to come down… I said I’m going to win today and I want everyone to be here with me and to experience it.” Sure enough, win he did, and he did so while his mother lead a huge cheering section of his closest friends and family, including fellow Bodog.com Poker Pro Evelyn Ng.

William’s is no stranger to the Poker spotlight, having played in the biggest poker tournaments around the globe and some of the most popular Poker TV shows in the industry, but Williams’ truly cemented his status as one of Poker’s elite at the 2006 WSOP* where he won his first bracelet.

January Online Poker Promotion paying out in cash!

Poker_Player_US 1 Comment

Play online pokerWe all know or believe poker to be a game of skill but any good player also understands there is still an element of luck involved. Catching the magic card on the river to suck out your opponent, checking your hole cards and seeing the pocket aces smiling at you… it is what you do with the cards you have (or don’t have) that creates the skill of the game.

Now with all this in mind, here comes the US friendly Aced Poker Room, and in January they are adding a special kind of luck to the game! As you play real money cash games, sit n gos or tournaments you earn comp points. Once you reach certain levels of comp points Aced is going to give you the chance to earn some great cash prizes! This is a great way to build your bankroll while you are enjoying your favorite game of online poker.

Here is how it works:

As I mentioned above, as you earn comp points from playing any real money game you will get chances at the "Aced Luck Box" Your first shot is when you earn a low 5,000 comp points. You will be shown three briefcases in the player admin page and you get to pick one, each box has cash in it so you can’t lose in any way. But you can win big by choosing the "jackpot" box. The cash will be awarded into your freeroll winnings account and you will have to wait 7 days before you can cash it out, but you are free to use it at the poker tables right away. You also must have made a deposit prior to January 31st to participate in this great poker promotion.

When you do make your deposit, be sure to use the special coupon code of ACEDXMAS and you will get a 100% bonus all the way to $1000 free! This bonus code is valid until January 31, 2009 and can be used a total of 2 times. Rememeber, Aced poker allows US players (except KY).

I almost forgot to mention that the Bad Beat Jackpot at Aced over $872,000 now! It has to break soon, so why not earn your points, make cash in the luck box and pull down the jackpot all at the same time? I know where I am going to be playing, do you? Click here and get the FREE software download and start making some serious poker cash in January! See you at Aced! Good luck!
