After coming in fourth-place in two World Poker Tour (WPT) tournaments and second in another, BoDog 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 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.
