David Williams Victorious at the WPT World Championship!

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:

The Doyle Brunson 5 Diamond WPT ClassicDoyle Brunson was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame at Hardin Simmons University yesterday!

Anyway, he is being honored by his former university and had it not been for an accident that broke his leg, he may have been better known on the basketball court rather than the poker table. He was recruited to play for the (then Minneapolis) Lakers before the unfortunate accident happened! Did you know he is also a cancer survivor? Maybe now you can understand why he is so tough at the tables. The man has been through and seen a lot!
