Daniel Williams is a British poker player living in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. Williams has been a popular figure in UK poker circles for over two decades thanks, partly to being a prolific online poker tournament grinder during the early stages of his career.
Mainly known as "S4ooter" in online poker circles, Williams has over $100,000 in tracked online poker tournament cashes, and an additional $25,000 from the live tournament grind.
In May 2014, Williams outlasted 403 opponents in a £56 buy-in Titan Bank Holiday Special at the Grosvenor G Casino in Coventry for a career-best £5,620 ($9,485). He put together a deep run in the 2015 PokerStars UKIPT Bristol Main Event but came unstuck in 31st place and had to make do with a £1,900 consolation prize.
Williams is an active member of the Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT), and regularly attends APAT events. He helped his team capture the APAT UK Team Championship title in 2012, 2013, and again in 2024; he bubbled the final table in the individual standings of the 2024 team event.
After an eight-year hiatus, Williams won the £120 Pot-Limit Omaha 4/5/6 Card Championship at the 2023 APAT World Championship Of Amateur Poker (WCOAP), a result good for £2,450, a custom bracelet, and a coveted gold APAT medal and followed that up with a 6th place finish in the $400 PokerNews Daily Deepstack, at the 2024 World Series of Poker, for $3,833.
Williams is currently the Commercial Partnership Manager at PokerNews.
