David Williams - Team Bodog Player David Williams and Bodog.com Founder Calvin Ayre Congratulations to David Williams on winning his first WSOP Gold Bracelet. He won the 2006 event #10 Seven Card Stud tournament. Out of 472 players, David came in first and collected $163,118. David Williams was already famous before he made a name for himself in Poker. Though his second place finish in the 2004 World Series of Poker brought about his leap to fame, he had previously been a minor celebrity in cards, just not Poker cards. David Williams' first claim to fame was through the card game Magic: The Gathering. For those unfamiliar with this game, the best way to describe it is chess with cards, but every card is unique. Each card serves a different purpose and has unique abilities, each explained on the card itself. Based in fantasy role-play, the game involves a great deal of strategy but also has an element of luck, which probably helped prepare David Williams for his crossover to Poker.

Tournament officials decided that they were bent purposely, though David Williams denied it. Tournament officials claimed that they could cut the deck at those particular cards every time and ultimately he was suspended from tournament play for a year, and in the hiatus he took up Poker. Check out the entire 2010 WSOP Schedule! David Williams had been playing Poker since 1997, but mostly online and in Dallas, Texas' underground Poker rooms. During his one year suspension from Magic: The Gathering tournaments, he found a mentor in Marcel "The Flying Dutchman" Luske, with whom he had a mutual friend in Holland. David Williams honed his Poker skills and in 2004 qualified online for the World Series of Poker competition in Las Vegas. In the end, he took second place in the tournament, but still left with $3.5 million in winnings. He followed this up with a second place win at the Borgata Open World Poker Tour with a $573,800 purse. Here is the complete list of 2010 WSOP Prop Bets! Studying economics at Southern Methodist University, he had been accepted at Princeton and Harvard, and actually starting out in Princeton, he returned home to Texas and enrolled in Southern Methodist. David Williams feels that it may be possible that he may not need to work, considering his success in Poker. His love of the game has drawn him into Poker as a living, but David Williams worries that if Poker becomes a job, he may lose his love for it and it will become a chore.
