David Williams



David Williams was born in 1981 and resides in Dallas, Texas where he is finishing an Economics program at Southern Methodist University. David Williams is living the new American Dream in his college years with tournament wins surpassing the 4 million dollar mark. David Williams became a household name after his second place finish to champ Greg Raymer in the 2004 WSOP Main Event, taking home $3.5 million (1 million more then the record setting 1st place payout of the previous year). Before the "big win", Williams was an accomplished player at another card game, Magic: the Gathering, for which he had traveled to over 35 countries, making some cash and building a reputation along the way. Whatever following David Williams had prior to poker, is totally eclipsed by the fame that surrounds him after sitting heads up at the biggest poker tournament the world had ever seen - and he got there by winning an online satellite tournament.

David's tournament achievements are impressive given his short career in tournament poker - some of his accomplishments include: 2nd place in the 2004 WPT Borgata Poker Open worth $573,800, 1st place in the 2004 Five Diamond World Poker Classic Limit Hold 'em event worth $121,057, and a 25th place finish at the WPT Third Annual Five-Star World Poker Classic in Las Vegas worth $56,615. These wins barely compare to the $3.5 million dollar 2nd place finish in the largest tournament to date for which this college kid will be remembered in the poker's history books. An interesting fact about the final table in 2004's main event, is that 4 out of 9 of the players qualified for the event via online satellite tournaments - become the next David Williams, win a WSOP satellite at Full Tilt Poker
