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:

Bodog.com Poker Pro David Williams Wins WPT World Championship

For Immediate Release

Apr. 27, 2010

KAHNAWAKE, QC // After coming in fourth-place in two World Poker Tour (WPT) tournaments and second in another, Bodog.com Poker Pro David Williams can cross yet another poker milestone off his bucket list – winning a WPT event. 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. Make this year your year. Qualify for the World Series of Poker* through Bodog.com and you could be on the fast track to Poker superstardom.

Bodog Poker Adds New Table Features!

Poker_Player_US Leave a comment

Bodog Poker - New Features, Big Bonus!When it comes to playing online poker, the overall experience factor is something that Bodog Poker has always taken very seriously. Many times players have said the software was "plain", but for the serious poker player, it is far from just plain. All the tools you need are right at your fingertips, (or mouse click).

Personally, I always loved the Bodog Poker software as there are so few distractions. You won’t find any cheesy images, annoying music or sketchy marketing tactics anywhere on Bodog because that’s not the way they do business. And since they have been in business so long (15 years) I think they have a rather good grasp on what players want and need. Simplicity is bliss for me!

Well, I guess it was time for a change, well, not a huge one, but a subtle change and certainly a change to the good! I believe you will enjoy the new features as much as I did the last time I played online poker at Bodog.

Here is what Bodog has just added to the poker room:

Muck One Card Feature: A common feature in land casinos, showing your opponent just one card is a strategy that Bodog’s skilled Hold’em players can now use to confuse or even mock their opponents. Maybe you were on Ace – Rag and put in a major bluff, you can now show the table just the Ace and make them wonder if you had pocket rockets or big slick. Or maybe you’ll just show the 5 off suit to frustrate them when you really held a King to complete a set. After all, a frustrated opponent makes for a rewarding win, wouldn’t you agree? Get your opponent steaming and clean him out when you hold the nuts!

The ‘NEW’ Final Table: Anytime you reach the final table in a multi-table tournament (MTT) it is quite an accomplishment. Well, Bodog thinks so too and now has a special Final Table that is unlike the other tables. Nice and classy in true Bodog fashion, edgy graphics and a tastefully designed table that perfectly compliment the intensity of final table action. Just wait till you make it to the Final Table, you’ll really want to pat yourself on the back when you see the new surroundings!

I was going to post a picture of the final table here but thought you would rather see it for yourself when you make the tournament final! I didn’t want to spoil the surprise :). Why not see it for yourself and Play Texas Hold’em at Bodog today for a truly unique online poker experience. All US players are welcome at Bodog Poker!

When you sign up to play online poker at Bodog here, and use Bodog referral code 2429235, you will be rewarded with a 110% poker bonus all the way up to $1,100! Better still, they will give you 10% of your bonus instantly, ready to take to the tables! The remaining 100% will be added to your account as you earn Bodog Poker Points. Get your Bodog Poker Bonus now!
