Williams Gets the Best of Tran

David Williams moves on

The last of the Hearts bracket matches is over. David Williams enjoyed a four-to-one chip advantage over JC Tran when Tran open-shoved preflop with {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Williams had a pair of sevens in the hole and quickly called. The flop was all small cards, {4-?} {8-?} {9-?}. When the turn paired the board nines, giving Tran a few extra outs, Williams flashed a wry smile.

"Now I see where this is going," he said. "This is some B.S." But in fact, he had nothing to worry about; the river was the {J-Clubs}, which didn't improve Tran. Williams dragged the pot and as a result had all of the chips in front of him. He will be back tomorrow to play one of only two players to cash in this event every year since its inception -- Scott Fischman.
