Team Bodog�s Williams Wins at WSOP

Poker pro David Williams, the 26-year-old Texan who rocketed to stardom two years ago with his memorable runner-up finish at the 2004 World Series of Poker has outlasted a field of 478 players to capture his first bracelet in poker's showcase event.

Playing as part of Team Bodog, Williams took the top prize in Event No. 10 of the 2006 WSOP, the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud tournament, earning $163,118 for the win.

'This is the greatest day of my life,' Williams said. 'I came so close to winning a bracelet in 2004 in the Main Event, and I've been thinking about this moment ever since. It's even better than I expected.'

Williams� three WSOP appearances have won him over $3.5 million, as well as the distinction of being the youngest player on the WSOP�s Top Ten All-Time Money List.

'David continues to prove he's one of the best poker players in the world. I'm sure this is the first of many more WSOP bracelets he'll win over his career,' said Calvin Ayre, Bodog.com's founder and CEO. 'To have a title this early in this year's WSOP is exciting for all members of Team Bodog, and we're anticipating many more victories.'
