World Poker Tour $25,000 Championship Event – David Williams Wins Championship

Williams beat Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin heads-up to win the title and took home $1,530,537 in first-place prize money. When heads-up play began, Williams had a 3-1 chip lead over Baldwin.

There wasn’t much action until the final hand when Williams raised to 500,000 and Baldwin raised all-in making it 4,765,000 to call. Williams thought for a minute or two then called and turned over his pocket deuces. Baldwin showed a Ah-5h.

The flop came Ad-7c-6s, and Baldwin’s pair of Aces put him in the lead. But a deuce fell on the turn and the river was insignificant as Williams took down the final hand with trip deuces to win the title and more than $1.5 million in prize money.
