Did David Williams make any good plays?

the 55 call is the type of play he makes that helped him beat bad players like you.

How many times was he all in with a dominated hand?

[KanigawaCards7]

not very often???

I agree.
There was only one time that he was actually majorly behind in a hand, the K9 hand.

The person who made that post is clearly wrong.

I think TV coverage is very misleading. There were always significant changes in the chip counts between breaks in the coverage. How many boring blind steals do we miss, when only the all-in hands are shown?

so you are saying he got his chips in numerous times with the worst of it that we did not see?

I don't remember him doing anything at the final table. Don't recall blind steals, pushing someone off a hand with a big bet, or anything at all. He just folded his way to 2nd, and got lucky (and sometimes making bad plays: 55 w/ a dark check?) when he played. So yeah, I'd say his 2nd place finish at the final table was mostly luck. I can't comment on his play on previous days. I'm also not a great player, so my observations may be lacking.

Very true. I loved the Turning Stone broadcast for this reason. I would much prefer to watch the game hand by hand than get all bullcrap filler. The Nuts sucks.

I wish they would show the game and then have a "Behind the WSOP" show to do all the backgrounds and nonsense.
